Aquarius Sail had my new sq top made by Ulman in Deltaville VA. It's a beautiful sail and performs really well. If you can make a sail that will do th...

Unless you're a really good refinisher with all the equipment, skip the repaint. What all the other posters said here is true. I used ON&OFF hull clea...

I ratchet strap the eyes of the trap wires to the front crossbeam of the trailer. This has worked fine so far.

I use Adblock plus. seems to have solved the problem.

Do you really want to install a bronze sheave in what is probably a cast aluminum head block?

I don't think I could get the head high enough to hook the shackle of my Aussie ring. That would really suck.

Transitive verb, example 2a. The OP indicated he was having trouble getting the head of the mainsail high enough to disengage the ring from the hook. ...

It's in the dictionary. You have to pull the ring aft so it backs away from the hook. I'll grant you it's a bit of a cheat, but if you're out on the w...

I have some of their small blocks. I bought them at their booth at the Annapolis boat show. It's all Harken knock off. It seems to be ok so far.

Strike, to take down. I would tie the line onto the top of the ring with a tight hitch ( clove, rolling, fisherman's) and let the line fall straight d...

Here's my take. I beach up on a sandbar whenever possible to hoist and strike the main. Beachcats are damn unruly at dockside. I carry an anchor. I ri...

I went with one of these. This link is just for example. I shopped around and got it cheaper. It too will jam if you aren't paying attention.

If you don't mind the haul, Point Lookout SP in Southern MD is a good spot.

Perhaps they're done. You might throw them on here just in case.

On a dead flat calm my Torqueedo 1003 will push my SC15 t0 about 7mph. That rate will flatten the battery in about 30 min.

Are the hulls advertised anywhere?

Good call, If the seller hopes to market that boat, he needs to clean it up.

Do not buy that Hobie!

ACK! Now that's a weed cat! I might haul it away for a grand. It looked so little like a Hobie I missed it when I searched earlier.Edited by gahamby o...

I copy and paste the link.

At $2000 the seller is dreaming. $500 is probably too much.Is there a classified ad you can post? By the time you get the trailer road worthy and the...

Hard to beat Marine Tex. I like this product for thinning it out if I need it to flow.Edited by gahamby on Jul 15, 2020 - 11:14 AM.
