Don’t hesitate to contact Yannick Sansoucy who now runs Mystere, he’s very helpful and most of the parts for your cat are still available from them. H...

Intp: « I put ghetto teak on mine, Amazon sells it by the roll. WhT exactly is this stuff? Looks like real wood in the photo and looks nice too

Thanks for the tips guys, I’ll skip the wax this season and see how it goes.

Wow! Good info and photos! I'll have to check that out once i get the cat out of storage, hopefully very soon. Thanks!

And yes, i have the 8'6" beam. That reminds me i still have to add that line across the tramp. It's on my "list of things to do but never get around t...

Yes, it is time for a new jib- not sure this one will last the summer.

Ah! Thanks! I did find my jib would often flutter last summer, even sheeted in tight. I'll tighten up that line to see if it helps.

How would one limit mast rotation in this situation? My cat has a boomless main and no mast rotator.

Don't tie off to the crossbeam, the others are right -it'll wander back and forth all day and sit parallel to the waves resulting in some violent side...

Mystere Catamarans just tested the new foiling version of their Espadon last month near Montreal. They didn't report on speed (tested in 10-15 kts of...

Actually i have good access to everything either from the dock or by climbing/walking around on the lift frame. When I sail back home i tie up to a mo...

You probably have a prevailing wind, or you can only slide the cat in from one side. Just build a "fence" along the downwind side, a couple of 2x4 pie...

Chris, I leave the cats on modified Seadoo lifts. When standing in the water between the bows, I can just barely reach the furler drum, to grab the ta...

I see, that UV strip's a good idea. When I replace the sail I'll definitely ask about getting one added. I had a zippered sock made to cover my furled...

I assume when getting a sail made by a loft I would need to send them my old one for them to use as a pattern? Edchris - what do you mean by a UV stri...

Nice video! I want to put something together using my Gopro and your video gave some ideas for camera angles/shots. I assume you're using a Gopro? Jus...

I like the heatshrink idea Edchris, and I have lots of it. I'll give that a try...

There are two fixed positions, one at the front crossbeam and another at a grommet halfway down the tramp. Basically though, the further back they are...

Had the same problem as you with my Mystere, the aussie ring helped a lot. Still have a hard time occasionally though if wind is from the side (i rig ...

OK, I just emailed both of you the manual.

Just give me your email, Edchris. I don't know how to find it on this site.

I just got the reply from Mystere confirming their manuals are only available in french. If anyone wants one anyways, let me know your email address a...

I'd gladly email you the manual (i have it in PDF ), but how's your french? I'm bilingual and I had some trouble with the technical terminology. A jib...

Those plastic parts don't look too durable to me. The type of plastic Mystere uses seems flaky and brittle. Try Polyethelene stock instead. I was thin...

Awesome stuff guys, thank you so much for the great info and pics! You guys should re-write the Mystere owner's manual, it's not HALF as detailed as w...

Thanks for all the pics guys! We got the 5.0 all set up this weekend and even got out for a short sail with our little guys. MN3, I can see that line ...
