Many a fool can screw up in 5 minutes what it takes hours to fix. Use a chisel and a putty knife. It ain't that hard.I'd be really hesitant to use a p...

Yes with the beach wheels more than fair. It does not tolerate weight very well, when you get around 350 pounds it slows appreciatively. It is very w...

If you go let me know. I would love to sail out to Horn and camp.

Great article, I think only a cat sailor can understand your pain and laugh thinking yea I have done that.

Buy the best boat you can get for your budget. H16 P16, Nacra 5.2, 5.0 ect ect They all have the good and bad points

I use a bungee to hold my daggerboard, would i like the carpet better?

You know when it comes down to it the maturity of your boys is the key not the boat you are buying. I was raised on the water and could sail a Hobie 1...

Yes they would turn the boat.

I removed the bar and put the jib wires under the tramp. Made my wife much happier. Tramp is much more comfortable now, have even slept on it.

10 and 11 turn into 13 and 14 before you know it. Prindle 16 with a mast float. You can find them cheap, less prone to pitchpole and you won't have to...

Have learned by experience that if it is a popular spot in the summer and no other boats are in sight then you probably shouldn't go. Thirty miutes la...

Great story you should be a writer

The range of a beachcat is directly proportional to the age of the shrouds

If they don't have it try a shop that makes tuna towers for boats. They will be able to supply you.

Shroud failure bought last spring. I have to admit we had winds and waves coming out of the south so the limp in wasn't difficult. The hard part was k...

Glad you were prepared with the phone and got home safe. I once saw a beachcat get home after a demasting by jury-rigging a mast from the boom and lin...

Happy Ending

I have 1/4 inch line on my pvimatic, is that too big? I put another hole in my transom when it didn't release. Also what size line do you guys have as...

If you use a quick pin on the forestay or shrouds then it is just a matter of when not if. But literally if you want "knock yourself out"

I would go with the P18 or a H18. The Nacra is not kid or weight friendly in my humble unlearned opinion.Edited by golfdad75 on Jun 16, 2012 - 09:36 A...
