I also use it on the trailer hitch & ball; Ok thanks. I put no grease on ball. You'll have to drive 5 million miles for that ball to wear. Saves messy...

Thanks for the tip. Does it work. How about simply wetting the sail with water, as lube. Part that goes up the mast.

I can't remember if I covered this or not but what lube are you using for main luff to help it glide to the top? I used some snow ski wax, just rubbin...

To me boats are very much like musical instruments. Irrespective of the kind of instrument, if you get alternative junk you will most likely end up ha...

f you put significant down haul on your sail you may find that a normal spur grommet won't hold up for long. My preference would be a riveted plate or...

Thanks.

Found another one: but with solid hulls... car topper..

Minicat comes with oars and you can sail with oars on board. Can take packed boat on airliner.

Block to block on a H18, I didn't know that was possible. That's a hobie 16 thing. Cunningham (downhaul) should be just getting the wrinkles out to p...

C) the wind was actually 5 kts. Wind was 14-15 mph. My bad. Only flew the main. Jib was furled. I was block to block, block in center. Full on for out...

If you're looking for a fast, exciting ride, you'd probably be better off looking at a different boat than the Wave, unless of course you have 15kt wi...

Wave looks like fun...

Some good tips....thanks. I have a Laser full rig and I've owned sunfish. The reason I got the H18 was that I wanted more deck space as the Laser is...

Looks like someone wants to buy my H18 so I'm thinking now about cat that doesn't have daggerboards. Do SC have boards? Would inflatable be out of the...

Actually, it was better solo during FIRST SPLASH, as I had to lead, instruct crew, take crew for medical help which ended my sailing for the day. Duri...

We were talking about paddling... vid on Mausails show all entrants paddling or rowing... got to love those row/sailboats.

Can the trimarans point better? Is this the shockwave. If so, looks built for racing.

What dry bags are you using?

We have some really awesome drysuits and layers and layers and layers of Merino wool! And most important: Sponsers! 😆 😆 Good luck guys. Gods...
