Hmm.. Well, I guess that means I'll probably be looking for a 20' boat when the time comes. Ofcourse, only one member of my family may be very intere...

The Dart reminds me of a Nacra 5.7. I forgot to mention those as a possibility as well, but my questions were just centered around the performance di...

I fully intend to sail the crap out of this P18 for at least another year! I just started this thread for some conversation and input for the future....

I have heard 18-2's are really only a 2 man boat, ie. they can't carry much weight. Weight capacity is important to me. Why do you suggest an 18-2 v...

Ahhh! Now I see why the blocks are on the crossbeam. I am missing the two jib blocks that attach to the hatch cable. I will call the seller to see i...

Sorry to hear that. It was worth a shot, and now you won't be wondering "what if".

What state is this in? Lots of Rockport's out there.

So, here is my newest story. I had wanted to try to put the boat in the bay on some flats just outside of town, unfortunately it had recently rained ...

I have never seen a Prindle 19 in person, but from what I have seen in photos and read about them, I would agree a Prindle 19 is the newest/fastest/be...

I logged in just to say the same thing... Buy It!

Here's a sweet ride... if you have the coin.

gbyrd, to answer your question about why sailing isn't popular anymore, I think there are a couple of factors. The development and popularity of shal...

Where the OP sails is a large shallow bay, not a lake. A Nacra 5.7 would be awesome! I wanted one, but the only one I found was more than I wanted to...

Welcome neighbor! I live near South Padre and just picked up a Prindle 18. I was looking for a boat with the exact same things in mind. Actually, I ...

LOL, I almost took out our basketball goal with the mast while moving the boat on the trailer.

Yeah, during the summer jumping in to walk the boat is no big deal, but come winter I won't be so excited about it. :-O The adventure is what makes...

I finally got the boat on the water last weekend. I told my non-sailor friend and crew for the day that it would either be a disaster or really fun. ...

Thanks! I'm looking forward to getting it on the water this weekend. I just bought a used jib from Pete. It was the only thing lacking on the boat.

Sent, and you weren't lying about using clr. I gave the boat a scrub with water and a brush, then wipped down with clr and it really started to shine...

Yep, but the tramp looks pretty good after giving it a bath. I am interested in that jib though.

I've seen that listing. I thought it was pretty funny, too. "Great boat, just needs everything!" LOL

I live about 500 yards from the local marina, and would only be trailering it on residential roads. I intend to leave any boat I purchase full width ...

Thanks, Damon. That's interesting. Well, maybe I'll see what I can do about that SC20 in Austin!

I like that answer! Just sailing with kids and/or friends. I intend to also use it as transportation to spoil banks and mud flats for some wade fish...

I'll jump over hear since this thread is about SC 20's. If someone where to cut say 1' off the bottom of the dagger boards how much of a performance ...

Right, but it also has 3.5' long dagger boards. Can I cut them down, and still sail upwind? I've thought a lot about that boat, but it has two trail...

OK... good points. 🙁 Thanks for being frank about it. Crap, I suppose I'll wait. There is a nice 21SE a few hours away, I just can't afford it ...
