The Inter's, which I am assuming is similar to a 570, use a rod that lines up basically under the rear beam. The lacing goes around rivets on the bac...

Yea, I like the bar clamp concept. I'm going to check to see if I can make that work for me but my rod may line up too far under the beam? Not famil...

Well, I changed my mind at the last minute. When I called to order the tramp from Sunrise I talked a little more with Richard about the pro's and con...

Thanks Philip and Andrew. Yes it does make sense. Sounds like I need to quit thinking about it and just trust the technogy!

They do still have the blue material but.... They told me that the blue and black fabric is the same except that the black fabric contains carbon bl...

Just to clarify, I was not reccomending SLO, I was just using their quote to give an idea of the cost. I have corresponded with them via email but i ...

The estimate for restiching my 570 tramp from SLO was $50 - $80 depending on complexity and not including the shipping cost.

Since you mentioned Sunrise, just call and talk to Richard. He is topnotch, they have outstanding workmanship, and he will stand behind his product fo...

Thanks. I recall reading someones's comment in the past that the blue is not as durable so maybe there is something to that. Along the same line it ...

I priced one in Texas about a year ago and it was around $18,000 US dollars!

Thanks MG. I'm just trying to determine if I'm missing something or just how to rig it properly.

Maybe the shackles are just extra's and not for the downhaul? Sometimes there are a few nacra's out where I usually sail so I'll try to scope them ou...

Thanks for taking the time.

Thanks for the ideas. I guess I am missing part of the rigging but maybe I wasn't too far off with my approach. I will also look into the S hook opt...

I'm glad to hear you were successful in contacting the Mystere folks in Canada. I haven't had to go that route yet but may need to in the future. I'...

I have a 91 Mystere 5.0. It is my first catamaran and this is my 3rd season to sail it. I'm not an expert but if you have questions about the boat m...

I have been doing some research on these lately but I have not yet bought one. So far the one I think looks the best is the Garmin Foretrex 301. Fro...

MN3, I'd be interested in getting a copy of that full brochure as well. There is more info on the 5.0 on there than I have found anywere else. Does...

Andrew, Thanks for the explanation and pictures. It is still difficult for me to see the exact set-up even with the pictures and description but it ...

You guys have me leaning towards the rigid permanant option. The original puddy was not flexible but not sure whether it was intended to be removeabl...

Thanks for all the comments. I called both West Systems and 3M technical support. West systems (Six 10, 106/206/406) did not have an offering jto r...

Thanks for the input. I'll take a look at the 5200. Hopefully others will have some experience to share as well.

Thanks Andrew, I guess you caught me trying to take the easy way out! Actually, one rudder has no wear at all on the bottom so I think I just need to...

Thanks for the response. I was able to remove a silcone plug on the side near the top and get all the water out. The rudders seem rigid and sturdy s...
