Why not put the 5.5 on your list? Plenty of room for two, still very manageable single handed including pushing in/out of the water on wheels.

Whereabouts are you? There’s a shop in Houston called C&C Sailmakers that’s familiar with cats and likely has some Prindle templates.

Interesting thought John. Two questions come to mind… 1) Are you using a section of 1” tubing on the bungee between the end of the tiller tube and the...

million times easier to snag on a line, sail, shorts, shirt, pdf, etc. and bend and foul Appreciate the feedback and concern. I’m only using them for...

Hes making my prindle 19 mx suit of sails Pulling out all the stops for mid-winter?!

Thanks for getting it sorted Scott. Works like a charm!

It appears you copied the link just fine Scott. I get the same error when visiting the calendar from the link on the TCDYC page as well. It appears th...

Thanks for the heads up Lars. Both slots are dogs breakfast of different carpets right now. I can probably track down scrap carpet somewhere, do you h...

Does your system use a bungee for moving the car to one end? If so I presume you’re only having this issue sailing upwind so you could just move the b...

Finally I decided to gelcoat the top of the boards. I know brushing on they won't be mirror smooth but these are daggerboards, most of this section is...

Next I used West System epoxy with colloidal silica to rebuild the corners and fill in all the open cracks or knicks on the trailing edge. Where neede...

Oh geeze. I thought I had a chance but now that I know Scott is coming I’ll give up on placing and just be happy to finish! 😆 😆

Ha. Great place to stop. Next time, let's get a few together for a sail and cocktails... +1 Christmas was great weather in the bay and we only held...

This explains why Scott was discribed to me on the dyke as “the one everyone is always trying to catch”.Edited by carbonc on Nov 30, 2021 - 06:26 PM.

Scott, what is the primary driver to move from something like the 1880 to the 207HP? I think the 164 only had a max load of 900 or 1000lbs but the new...

That’s a Ronstan RF78A fork by fork swivel. The halyard “block” is just a custom job in the lower pin area of the Ronstan swivel. Looks like the halya...

Agreed revintage. The all-in one on jollygreen’s rig does seem crowded and I’m quite surprised the “block wings” don’t contact the shroud pressings wh...

Upon inspection my 5.5 uses a Ronstan fork by eye swivel (link below). I measured out the offset from the hounds to jib halyard block and it’s right a...

How much extra forestay does the 5.8 have? On my 5.5. with a standard jib I don’t think I’d be able to lower the jib halyard that far and still get th...

Harken 1878, it’s like a 164 but with a shackle end. Edited by carbonc on Nov 25, 2021 - 01:42 AM.

The boomlet offers “infinite” adjustability over the same length as a clew plate with less build cost to the sail (assuming you already own the boomle...

I think boatbore is pointing attention to the fact the other poster was constantly stymied by incredibly simple facets on their boat therefore putting...

If the boat is not moved back the mast holder/winch post impedes raising the bridle and chain plate and you cannot pin the forestay until you move the...

did I miss something There’s a user that frequently requests help solving a problem that’s addressed in the manual for their boat. The forum has rep...

The pigtail also serves to shorten the jib sheets significantly and keep the trampoline clear. You’re fixing one issue instead of accepting a solution...
