Yeah - and at $500 with title??? Cheap, cheap, cheap.

Damned skippy! Very good/over built job. Time to sail. If you "need" to make it look good, eventually cover it with PVA foam, I guess. But, I'd lik...

Ditto - but if you "just want it gone", know what you've got and don't ask much of anything for it; why put any extra effort into it? Of course, a pr...

Hey, questions: 1) did you think of bonding the top layer of glass and the foam all at once? Kind of like a toxic taco... I end up using a thick myl...

Coverage I was watching wasn't that bad. Lots of dead air time between races, though. Only found one NACRA race, mixed crew. Still, fun to watch. E...

NBC Olympic app, in the US, unfortunately not sure about up north...

so, the Nacra's base isn't attached to the mast with say rivets or anything? Seems odd.

It worked for me just now, but listed as sold.

So, what generally are the differences, pros/cons between a pinhead, fathead and squaretop mainsail? I've personally only sailed catamarans with squar...

Here's a picture of the last one - comparison with a new shackle: - Bent two of them that way; Harkens, both. Edited by charlescarlis on Jul 02, 202...

For me, the gin pole makes setting my mast as fast as the 16's I see done by hand, but I think mine's more stable/predictable/easier. But that's my 2...

Now I'm embarrassed at how much I over-thought my set-up...nice. A version of this set-up would allow someone to have a forward tramp, trailer mounte...

Wow - I've got to say that that video shows a pretty stable mast-raise. I've got to tie down my trap wires to keep the dang mast from swinging around...

I would likely bet on the beaches being cleared every morning. Common practice around the Gulf coast at the larger cities and in the Caribbean. Funny...

Yeah I use Superlube, but only because I've got it but actually with Delrin (I think it is), I think you're good with most anything you stick your han...

Grease - need to grease the cams. I don't know if the 16's have the same screw to tighten the spring loaded ball, but if it's jammed too tight that m...

Hey, measure the width of the mast, Bryan. I have an extra Hobie hound that looks pretty new, I think. Just need some dimensions. Make absolutely c...

Touché, but the wings aren't about competition, are they? Just nice comfortable fun. Sort of like a sport sedan as opposed to a sports car. Good in...

padding helps a ton for comfort. I may end up with EVA on frame, covered by the tramp material just to have something, especially on long sails. Look...

Guessing you're talking about the masking/protecting tape that they use on car rocker panels? Like: br /> The 4" tape looks like the "good compromise...

Fixed images above - I wanted to do the UHMW stuff, but at $200-$300, it sounded too iffy. I think "Keel Shield" was the closest option, but still as...

I looked at the various options, since where I beach at, there's tons of shells and rocks embedded in the sand, etc. and already fixed some divets. F...

Ouchy! Took a hit, but it's glass and can be fixed. It's not manly, but a loofa sponge, the synthetic kind is pretty good for getting fiberglass out...

Very cool; love hearing about guys still sailing cats after "retirement age", if you will. It seems like I just got into sailing (well, bought 1st ca...

Congrats on your first sail. Any pics in action? Well if you're trying to go fast and breaking stuff, that's about right, so you MUST be on the righ...

yeah, pretty cool. And, actually not complicated CNC mechanics. Would love to do a home build...

Notice the Hobie sails...Not going to be exactly same dimension as stock. Don't know anything about SC boats, except they're supposed to be decent to...

Hey-keep it up and keep posting. My cup of tea. I ended up building new triple rollers, only now I have to re-build them because they don't balance ...
