The 3 times I went we launched at Long Beach to the east side of Two Harbors and we stayed in the employee housing at Two Harbors. Someone told me th...

The place Mikey (surf city catamarans) would have sent you too is Craig at Elkhorn Composites in Watsonville. He's a great guy and does very good wor...

I'm pretty sure that barber hauler system is original as my SC20 has it too. Basically there is a line that runs through a cleat on the boom, through...

Well that is pretty obvious now isn't it. 🙂 I've just trained myself to ignore all the side stuff like that since on an average website it is just b...

Dumb question... Where do I find Damon's paypal details? I've been an avid Beachcat reader for a LONG time, time to pay back a little. Nevermind, f...

Damon, Along those lines, the link to cafepress in your sig doesn't work anymore and a quick search failed to turn anything up. My old beachcats shir...

So I thought I would give an update to this story. So I couldn't find a good way to double stack with the wings so I'm currently removing them, and I...

I looked at the hobie catalog and only see H20 and tiger/Fox daggerboard cover. Is that the one you're using? It looks like our boards are deeper th...

I picked up the new wave on Monday! 🙂 I ended up getting the club version (3 piece tramp) but I can confirm that the hulls on the club and classic a...

Actually with a properly functioning trailex trailer it can be telescoped fairly easily. It has a cool set of cables and sheeves that you attach to t...

And there are no overhead power lines or limbs that the mast will hit. But yeah, if you have plans like that the SC20 would be great. I really do lo...

While I agree that trailer sailing the SC20 has downsides, it is the only way we've ever done it! It takes about and hour to assemble and another hou...

I've never tried that, but instead I would just drill a hole through the board and tie a rope through it as a stopper. Then you still have full lengt...

My back had the same feeling as yours about that idea. 🙂

I have friends that have double stacked with wings, very quickly the wings stopped coming. I don't know why, but somehow removing wings is harder tha...

One of my friends here in Sacramento just bought new sails for his 21SE, and his boat came with 2 sets when he bought it. I don't know if he still ha...

Thanks. I had posted the question on the hobie forum but was trying to avoid spamming all the sites with the same question. I gave up and just poste...

What don't you like about the traveler? I've found it to be the best operating, freest running traveler of any boat I've sailed. Also what Scott fai...

And as I recall they kicked our butts! I think they knew which sails were in better shape. At least that is what my pride tells me. 🙂 I swore the ...

Hey Damon, Yeah I'm still around just not as much time for web forums now that I have kids. 🙂 But my brother has become more active on this site sin...

I don't want to rain on your parade, in fact I think this sounds awesome. But I really think you should stress personal safety. Each time I've done ...

I don't know that there is a typical. One trip was literally glass flat seas on the way back, I could clearly see my reflection on the water. After ...

There used to be a group of guys who sailed to Catalina all the time (Buzz, Gary, Alan etc). We sailed across with them several times. Does anyone s...

I'm in NorCal but I actually already have a replacement xbar, thanks for the offer though. It is tough to say whether the xbar deformed and that caus...

That's interesting. My old mast base was a 4 rivet and it still deformed and cracked. I guess it isn't a foolproof fix.Edited by efinley on Jun 13, ...
