Yeah, Damon's been doing this for us for a long time now, obviously out of his love for the sport. Deep appreciation for all you do Damon!

I agree, the boat looks great! Tell us more!

Sent you a pm Emmitt. Dave

The early SC 20s had the high bridal wires that Dan is referencing, and did come with a furling jib, no battens. Ed didn't mention having a spin pole...

I've had several SC20s that came with Ronstan furlers that are very similar to the ones Hobie uses on the 18, so I think you'd be fine with either. I...

I also have a modified SC 20 in the classified (way back in the listings), a project boat to some for sure, but it sounds like you have the skills to ...

Thanks Carl! I've passed your words on to Glenn, maybe he'll reconsider. I'm always encouraging my friend to invest in assets that might serve me we...

Anyone have any first hand knowledge of the town of Lake Isabella? Some friends were there recently, contemplating buying a house in town, but they p...

The Supercat masts all tended towards the stout end of the spectrum, with the downside being weight, and the upside being durability. Several gin pol...

Nice offer to help Shannon, Costa, take him up on it. You'll learn a huge amount of useful info, and maybe make a friend. The advice to run the boat...

I used Crazy Creek foldable chairs on Flight Risk for years. Very comfortable for sitting on the hull with legs extended over the tramp9 (our regular...

Properly adjusted SC rudders kick up nicely, but all that MN3 suggested is good advice. The early boats did have an issue with the transom's bonding ...

I too scored a $4K A cat this year, and I'm in love! Quick to rig, easy to manhandle on shore, and silky thru the water. I also have an H18 mast for...

I've got an F16 spin for not much money if you want something a little bigger and flatter. Dave

those planes have right of way over EVERYTHING, and are militant about it. yield as soon as you see them coming in low.

Pete's been selling used beachcat parts for decades now. I still don't know how he gets masts shipped cheaply, but he does. You will get what he des...

I think you need a purpose built mast float (Hobie Bob) over a fender, particularly if you want to keep the mast head as close to the surface as possi...

I'm another Supercat fan, there are several gin pole designs you can construct easily to make it safe and quick to raise and lower the mast, in the te...

Even more affordable, I have one, certainly adequate:

I owned a R21, and spent exactly one night in the hull. Felt like a coffin, absolutely had to have the nacelle open to make it tolerable. I would sl...

I second Ron's advice on adjusting the tensioning mechanism with the Allen wrench, while soaking and spinning. Might dislodge the grains that are jam...

I've used 2 to 3.5 hp two stroke outboards on 18 to 22' cats for years. It is weight aft, which is less than desirable, so look for the lightest(sma...

When we first purchased the ARC 22, the PO had installed a forward crossbeam and net to fill that forward space, as he saw the boat as a cruiser as we...

I also have had good experiences with Chip. And the Glasers and EP, although both of these are premium multihull sailmakers, probably at the upper en...

On the ARC 22 we have a big set of standard style beach wheels which go under the main beam. Then we have two individual cradles for the aft of the ...

I've done all the prep work, then had my bodyman spray the boats and masts. Not sure which paint he was using, whatever he was liking at the time, I ...

I've been using quality two part automotive paints for my boats for many years now with great results. Somewhat less expensive than marine paints. I...

Here's an example of a simple, lightweight framework to keep the beach wheel sets separated and aligned: br /> It's attached to the axels with s.s. h...
