The Go-Pro is the standard for sure, but if you do not want a Go-pro, get a Contour. They are popular with my group and are certainly easier to use th...

The 5.2 is probably a better choice for solo sailing, the H18 is definitely better for double or triple handling. I do not know what a 5.2 weighs of...

A line thrown over the hull has always worked well for me. I had one of those wrap-around bungee types on my H18. I did not like it as much, hard to a...

The beam may be bedded with 5200. If you have removed the 2 bolts and it won't budge, I would use a board and place it under the beam in a way that it...

The 21 weighs close to 550lbs, I think it's a poor choice for solo work. Moving that thing around on the dry would be a big deal, even with 2 people. ...

I started on a Hobie 18 and went through many boats since then, now on an F18. It took me several boats to appreciate just how good of a boat that Hob...

If it was me, I would sand off as much as the old paint as possible down to the gel-coat. I would use bright sides and roll/brush it on. Use the corre...

The wheels and hubs would be worthwhile to get shipped even if the axle was trashed.Edited by carolinacatamarans on Feb 22, 2014 - 09:47 AM.

You already have it rigged like that? I gave that a try but it forced the mast to rotate too much. My booms were 2" OD. Just over 9' long. On my C2 I ...

Do you have a picture? The original booms were a rectangle shape, in not certain round was ever offered OD. Ther rectangle booms were much tougher, my...

I wouldn't ban a product from one failure. Where did you buy these pins and were they new? I am assuming this was not from your Hobie dealer? Hund...

That many people and that much wind is asking for trouble. Insurance is a great thing to have on your boat.

It's my opinion that RTI offered a very unique opportunity to start a 100 mile race and have it end at the same spot. This is something that I cannot ...

Why do you think the attendance for RTI is down? Keep in mind that Spring fever is Easter weekend.

You need to be willing to ship boats when you have a list that is so small. There is a taipan 4.9 in Clearwater Florida that you could probably purcha...

The supercat design may be easier to manufacture at home.

How many boats for a separate start/course? Souring fever is the following weekend, I think most guys choose spring fever if having to make the choic...

Ship it all back and have him refund your Paypal, sounds easy enough. Posting threads like this sound be a last resort.

Here is another example of a similar cat.

It was a $200 upgrade for me, so only a 5% increase in cost on a new set.

Looks like a Hobie 18 tramp to me, how did it not fit the Hobie?

I use tile tape to cover holes, has worked great on several occasions for myself and others.

At this point I installed some stainless bolts from the back side as studs. I did not want to use bolts with the aluminum threading. The next step wa...

You could use it, however it may not be optimal

Sniffers are basically universal. Get one off almost any spin boat for your Prindle.

I would say the daggers now have a fine polish on the bottom edge
