I am a recent convert to the "replace often" camp. Working with and around swaged cable all the time, I was certain I would see some sort of tell-tale...

Hey RC I sail almost exclusively at Rockport. Not the best sailing lake for sure, but for 80-100 bucks you get to keep your boat on the beach in a so...

Sounds like an awesome trip. I used to work summers on Catalina when I was a kid and would see the occasion beach cat come over - always looked fun. S...

Do you have access to the boat during the winter? I find it easier to just eliminate the snow load on the boat rather than disassmble (my 5.7 is in th...

As luck would have it, I was on the add minutes after it posted, seller marked the add "sold" a while later. Boat was complete and in great shape, but...

Utah has all the deals lately. Picked up a Nacra 5.7 for free off KSL a couple weeks back... Cb

Cold nights, hot days. I have leftover West epoxy so I'll stick with that route. I'll also give the acetone a shot and see if I can get it cleaned up....

Pretty usre epoxy - thanks

Hey Shaun FYI, Utah DMV will let you register it without prior registration/pink slip/sales recipt/Etc. Ask for "insufficient evidence of ownership...

Dustin - thanks for the offer. I'm on the lake (Rockport) already so not too likely to pull out this season. Sounds fun, though - maybe next year. ...

Hey Verona have you considered Rockport? Mast up storage on the beach makes after work sailing pretty doable. $120-ish for the summer and not too f...

Thanks for all the replies. it would seem if the rotator was mounted up high, a compression sleve would be imperative. Being just an inch or two above...

That's perfect - thanks. Forgot the rotator would be so close to the base. Doesn't look like it has or needs a compression sleeve inside. Chris

I would love to get ahold of the Nacra file discussed here. I too, am giving my boat a make-over this spring and could really use new decals. Thank...

Hi Pete I don't need to launch often, but when I do, I usually raise the jib on the trailer, fasten the sheets and tie it off real well (poor mans ...

Thanks I will check the rudders at they were indeed off this winter. I suspect just poor form - first time out this summer. Second full season on t...

5 knots in mission bay. Two very drunk SDSU students out in a 400-year-old Lido. Sail number two I think. Anyway, great time, lots of laps past the aq...

Good to know about the deck(s) being removable. I always assumed it was just part of the hull. For sure, I'd prefer not to replace it unless I have to...

Rob - Thanks - thats just the picture I need. I'm assuming that rectangular "bulge" is some form of backing plate that's laid into the glass? Drill...

Thanks Jeff I'm quite sure it can be fixed. I guess I really need to know what the structure is underneath to know how to proceed. I've built every...

One option to keep in the back of your mind is if you have access to a decent size flat trailer, you can just load up boat & trailer, tie it down, and...
