Did you ever try it with a regular shackle(not a twist)? I had the same problem before I replaced the twist shackle with a wide "D" shackle. The wide...

Another option is Newgalss2.

I usually spend 1-2 weeks every year cat sailing in the upper keys. Islamorada is nice. Lots of good resturants. A lot of shallows sailing bayside. O...

Short distance or hard packed sand(think daytona beach) the hard wheel will do. Soft sand or a long trek the soft wheels are a 100% improvment. You ca...

At low tide we have about 150ft of beach. I sail the boat to the sand if the surf is up.. If the surf is small I will spin the boat into the wind whil...

No I was on the beach. I saw your boat and ment to come over and greet but got tied up in boat logistics. The boat out on the water was a stelleto 23...

20K would be cheap for that boat. glad you survived that nice little squal going to the first mark. Bertween the surf and the puffs it got a litttle s...

This is a great race to newbies. Pretty much just up the beach and back. Most days it will be an east wind going south as the day goes on. So it is us...

Not yet. Need to do that today. I sail a Mystere 6.0 with wings(and cooler). Comfort Cruiser.

Sounds to me like you need to find another place to stay. Perrys is great and they tend to be cat friendly. Great family resort. They have a large ove...

Just in time for Gilligans Run. Really fun distance race starting and ending from Perrys. A great time and you will meet a lot of the local sailor...

Andrew, The newer boats don't have the rivet(97 and later). The base just sits on the dolphin striker and the compression holds it in place. Where...

There used to be a beach launch area on the lagoon at Anastasia State Park. This body of water a opens up to the intercoastal. It's been a while since...

If the wires are over 2 years old, coated and the boat comes from saltwater I would strip the coating and have a look inside. What appears to be good ...

Way to big for a neck lanyard. Needs to be mounted. Big display, easy to read.

Just good fun to see how fast you are going and max speed for the day. You need to mount where it is visable on both tacks. This is a fairly large dis...

For wings use 1.5-2 inch quick pins. I never had one pull out. I use nylon clips to attach the hiking wires to the bungie at the hull. You can disco...

RUM!!!!!

The boat is a Sailcraft. From the closeup pictures it looks like there could be some front tang damage and seperation in the bows. But the price is ri...

Check out this site. The did the Northwest passage on an H18.

Cradles well woth the money or make a set yourself using the hulls for a mold. Good winter project. For a long beach I just sail the boat up the beach...

First question. Do you have problems raising the mast if someone else is there to pin the forestay? If the answer is no then you just have to figure...

Check Tornado.org

When jibbing that beast it never hurts to grab a handfull of mainsheet and swing the boom over. To keep the hotstick out of your way just throw it off...

A lot will depend on the boat, where the storage area is located and room in garage. A small cat can be partly dimanteled and stored in garage. For l...

They are the same as the 6.0.

Now you just hit in the head with the metal cleat used for trap adjustments. Don't ask me how I know?

And you wonder why Darrin passes you on my old boat.

Andrew, What did you add to that boat? Stock 5.5 is about 405 lbs.
