Coastrat and I was discussing this problem about righting. Just don't flip the boat seemed to be the best idea.

Andrew is an impressive guy.

Hey Butch, the weather was howling. I drove over just to see that P19 running with a spinnaker.

Find a rotund young lady to crew.

Coastrat is right, I bought a Nacra 5.2, the only reason was that is was a steal. Am learning to sail it and enjoying. But the same could be said abou...

I think that Andrew and Dave are right. You have something going on that shouldn't be happening. If it was supposed to be that hard there wouldn't be ...

I have been looking and cannot find one with fitting 2.5 inches apart. I guess I will hace to buy a harken or ronstan and drill new wholes.

Lets see...... maybe because he did think of it.

Andrew whenever I post I fear your rapier wit.

When the s ring catches on the o ring on the jib halyard it will take up some slack. But yes everyone who sails with me for the first time worries ab...

Aparently the more holes, the more surface area that "shreds" the airflow, resulting in greater drag. Why are tennis wind screens made of mesh?

I wish someone could tell me just how to set it up. But even so it is fun.

If you see a poorly sailed nacra, that would be me

Andrew I admire your wit, it is lst on most of us

Guys you know 40 mph winds are not very common.

Other than of course the one about your wife and the trapeze harness.

Andrew that is the most intelligent post I have read on this forum.

is this good first regatta? I would like to try one if nothing else but the social.

How many noodles would give adequate flotation? I would guess more than I would want to put in a hull.

Of course that is Andrew's wife after he showed her the trap hraness.

Or you could tie cheetos on the main halyard and fish for seagulls.

I agree with coastrat. I have owned two hobies and 1 prindle. The p16/18 are great boats. Hobie 18's after 1986 is a fun boat. (too heavy prior) Prin...

I think I will invest the money in a flathead main and race coastrat.
