Looks like I've managed to sail for 20+ years without standing trailer-boat masts. So, trying to catch up... So what have you sailed prior to your cur...

your pictures won't open.

Keep in mind a Highfield Lever can scrape the area around the chain plate at the hull. Some sort of chafing pad is recommended. Shop around for the le...

Here's how I tighten the shrouds on a SC15. I tension the trapeze wires to the trailer just forward of the front crossbeam to arrest sway. The crossb...

There's the Bitter End Yacht Club in the BVI's. I think all they have is Waves and Getaways.

Catmodding,That's an impressive number of cats there. Take us on a video tour sometime.Edited by gahamby on Nov 11, 2016 - 03:49 PM.

On my SC15 the best way seems to be from astern. I unpin one end of the tiller crossbar and move it out of the way. The stern is the lowest to the wat...

but don't do it on your tramp or you will slide off your boat at the worst time possible..... (don't ask me how i know) Kinda like Armor All on the mo...

The hose down with fresh water is always good. I run a Scotch Brite pad, soaked in white vinegar, through my mast track. While the sail is still roll...

It spreads the load out along the length of the mating surface and stops water from intruding into the joint. If it's a place I need to get into that ...

I had to replace a bolt rope tramp rail on the front beam of my SC. It was aluminum riveted to aluminum with SS rivets. It was bedded down in 3M 5200....

I take it there is no metal reinforcing strip inside the hull. What, if any, bedding adhesive did Nacra use under the tramp rail. A nice bead of 3M 52...

I got around the hassel of attaching the forstay bridle by making the connections at the bow chain plates. Granted it's two connections but their rig...

To all you Maryland Chessies, watch for me on the bay. You won't be able to un-see me out there. You're on! Where do you launch from?Edited by gahamb...

Check for soft spots in the decks forward of the front cross beam. If she's good bring her down to Point Lookout we'll be able to spot her from across...

I envision mounting the winch at the base of the mast support facing up My objection to this would be the possibility of immersing the winch when lau...

I agree about not attaching a power winch directly to the mast support where the hand winch is attached on most catamaran trailers. Most stock trailer...

I dig the gray paint job.

I had a gusset welded on my mast support down at the base. The mast support leans forward on my trailer. I had allowed for a cable from the top of the...

They've added more pics I see. They should be informed of the mistake in their listing Some folks like to trail them backwards as it suits their mast...

I'm familiar with the process of standing up a spar with a gin pole. How would you reinforce a mast support to accomplish what the OP had in mind?

That's all very impressive. The gin pole picks up the lift line so instead of pulling straight down the mast you have a usable angle to lift or lower ...

I thought a gin pole was used to create the proper angle of purchase.

The Harbor freight link doesn't get there. Do you mount a turning block on the trailer tongue to pull the gin pole? Is it this one? Edited by gahamby...

I don't have an electric winch but I think mounting a manual is about the same. 1) About waist high on the mast support. If you bolt it on you can ge...

You might have hulls from two different boats. The two links above are the source for your SuperCat needs. This site has a fair number of SC owners al...

An old mattress would do also.
