That's kind of what I was thinking on a two part mold, and from pictures I've seen, they looked to be filled with urethane expanding foam - maybe in t...

What kind of foam does Hobie use on EPO rudders?

Delrin seems to work pretty good as a spacer on other boats, but you can't glue it in very well (slippery), if you're trying to do that...

Centerboard? There are boats in the picture???

I've ONLY seen them picked up by the crossbars, never supported by the hulls. That is, I think wrapping straps around the hulls MIGHT be a bad idea. ...

You can make/shape foils and make them work, even if only for fun if you like messing with stuff and building - I do, always have and find that part o...

Saw it every Wednesday last year, but with a Hobie Wave. The guy used 4 lift points - two lines, secured to cross bars. I can't recall if they were ...

Oh man, you've definitely got something tearing on that thing. Check where your luff track goes from plastic to aluminum; the two pieces should be sm...

Interesting how the "spinnaker" is on a furler, like a jib and REALLY flat. I guess it's more like a code 0 shaped sail? I wonder if that sacrifices...

Well, dang. I'm a "bit south" of you. Gulf coast/Texas. Seems like there's a ton of cat sailors up there. More so than down here, though the group...

Downhaul connection??

Where are you located? If local, would be willing to help. I know it can be a little intimidating to start hacking at your boat, but it's something ...

You talking about the Hobie Super Cruiser? If so, then there's an issue with the mast luff tracks on this and the SE models - the bolt rope of sails ...

br /> But, shop around,as I got mine from wally world for like $39ea. Maybe they were on sale??? But, available.

I wish. We didn't have time to get our gopro going again-too busy trying to keep things upright

Yeah, next year going to have to leave the babes (wives) at the house, so we can socialize more and actually meet folks. It was difficult splitting a...

Doesn't look like he has clearance to put needle bearings in there; it's just a sleeve fit. I'd echo the above statement and get hard plastic washers...

Ok, wow! Nice venue and spot to sail. Had a ball, despite Saturday's squall that came through. Quite the carnage... Since we were down the course,...

I agree about the material hardness. Look at the Rockwell rating; that's your reference. The aluminum is already soft and you don't want to wear it ...

Yup- getting it to bead wasn't happening for me, so took it to an old fashioned tire shop with an air cannon. That and $20, cash all day long easier....

BTW, right or wrong I store my boat way nose-up with plugs out to keep the hulls dry. I do it by jacking up the nose of my trailer, but same impact; ...

Support the hulls as if it were on a trailer - should be fine. That is, use cradles instead of a a round bar or roller. It's really about distributi...

Cool - thanks for sharing the iso with us. PLease share the finished product as well. I, for one certainly would like to avoid the plug-in wings som...

Been there, done that. SHOULD be a simple repair. I ended up getting a square of Dacron sailcloth, wrapping it around the boltrope and sewing it down...

Headed there also-first time for me...

Wow - that IS a good buy, on the surface. Looks clean and tight.

Good to know someone with that background. I haven't done much on the graphics side, but a lot on the cut, peel and apply side and am now venturing i...

"Weeding" is the process of peeling out the vinyl you don't want after the plotter cuts the pattern out. It leaves just the logo behind on the releas...
