OK, Beech Wheels done. The proof will be in the sand.

I finished up my Loser Beech Wheels today. I'm confident they'll hold the boat over bumps but testing in actual conditions will be the final test. The...

Surface marker buoy used by divers is good. Some are 6' long and inflated by mouth. Surface Marker BuoyEdited by goodsailing on Apr 30, 2015 - 03:55 P...

Thanks for the tips... Should I use the carpet. Won't it just cause drag when pushing the wheels under the boat. Thanks

But I did pull them port to starboard and then back again... snagged up so I removed the bungee. The bungee caught the lip of the older block, org equ...

Were your blocks getting snagged on this bungee while you were actually sailing or just in the driveway? I think you'll find it works fine under way. ...

You figure the total surface area of hull meeting a 2" or 1' beech wheel tube = very little surface meeting space. Which leads me to believe pool nood...

After tapping a patch, I drilled a bunch of holes in the aft port side deck that was separated. I injected a fair amount of resin using the horse need...

I've wondered about the hook on the harness causing a pinge problem especially if you were under the surface.... let alone being swung around like a r...

Just wondering, has anyone tried using pool noodles for the hull rests. I picked up 2 4" pool noodles in Walmart yesterday. They have about a 1" hole...

Here's the short axle for my modified A Cat hull. The 4 bolt hubs work great with the 1" collars. I had to grind some of the tubing down as it was a f...

i am blown away no one had lifejackets on - not to mention real foulies + Crazy.

They showed some video on the news of single hulls. Looked real windy, but oddly not too high of waves. At least in the vids I saw. Must have been ho...

Damon, thanks for the upgrade.

Good going. Seek and ye shall find. Good deals abound. And look at this: the STONES for $88

This might work pending your conditions. For dry suit I use 5mil farmer john and booties as I'm getting wet anyway getting boat to open water. Plus I...

You got to love a day that starts out great,turns to crap then ends on a high note!! Got that right Onekiwi

I can't decide if you both stole it or you paid a guy $2 for stolen goods?- either way, ... enjoy 🙂 aaaah yes... glad you picked up on that. The pers...

After speaking with the lady who said she had the steel tube I set out to the place I visited a couple of years ago about an hour away. When I pulled ...

Assuming you find a good set of hobie 18 hulls, you could probably completely design and build a custom 18 footer for less than $4000 thats lighter an...

Looking at your pictures, you should totally eliminate the pulley, shackle, and the blue line. Run the white line that exits the furler drum straight ...

Totally unnecessary You are mostly right about that. How many times are you going to be furling the jib anyway during the course of day. What I want t...

The steel rims came and were not as heavy as I thought. After getting stems, from my tire guys, (they said they couldn't put the tires on), I managed ...

Not sure what you are talking about....if your furler is in proper repair it pulls in and out very easily and I don't see how a shackle and pulley on ...

Cradles in the making: Oven heated water pipe and pressed on hulls to cool. Thinking now of bracket arrangement.

Not knowing beach conditions I decided to go with the rubber tires. I did seriously consider the plastic dock wheels as that would have been half the ...
