As far forward as you can - perhaps on a bulkhead. This makes the boat more stable on the ground and less likely to capsize. Make sure you have anch...

For actual nav on a wet catamaran, Garmin GPSMap 78sc. I got a silicone sleeve and velcro it to the front crossbeam. I don't like the unit, but it's t...

I'm not using the right term. What's the wire that goes to the dolphin striker?

Windsurfer masts are flexy/bendy. You'll need a strong bridle and diamond wires -- with good tension, probably a good degree of pre-bend -- to get acc...

(-: caught me redhanded! A standard Whisper rights easily solo with a 90Kg sailor. I've seen it. This particular Whisper has a slightly heavier mast...

I'm sorry I wasn't clear. Plan is to have a block and halyard fixed top of mast, and hoist the float before departure, depending on crew...

Here's a video of an outing, with the 9yo helming from the wire. He didn't want to put his foot on the footstrap. You can guess how this ended.

Hi Todd! I didn't explain that well. What I meant to say is that the N20s were originally bought as foilers (N20FCS, J foils, T rudders), and had to...

Riiight. I honestly hope they are right. Cannot help but observe that _just one_ F18 signed up for the 2019 edition. I don't own either, and I don't...

Nacra 20 is out?! Whoa. Last edition had 3 N20s and 1 F18 IIRC. There was some drama around the N20s because they were originally going foilers and Na...

Good stuff! Post videos, notes. (We did similar with a WhiteFormula Whisper, and posted videos and notes, mostly on a sailinganarchy thread -

Dyneema has excellent uv properties. It's slippery so knots don't hold well. There's a whole set of different knots you can use with dyneema for good ...

Ziper is right. CABB is the right group, with monthly outings. Reach me over email (firstname.lastname@gmail.com works) -- I sail more often than CABB...

For blazing fast rig-up, all-around performance, and camping, the Weta is a serious option. The UFO is also a hoot. I own both 😉 -- you could do the...

Welcome, and ouch! I also repair my boats sometimes, so yeah. Two comments: take a bunch of pictures of the proposed repair, and consult here (where p...

I did sail once on a cat that did have a trolling motor attached. It was dry-docked in a secluded bay in Annapolis. Gorgeous spot. There was at least ...

For anyone thinking the W1000 is for them, we have the Florida 300 to have a trial run, or at least get off the armchair 🙂 I was there for the Miam...

We foilers _feel_ just like anyone else! How dare you... Ohhh, you mean _heel_ -- 😉 When you are foiling, you are working constantly to trim -- u...

It's on and Nate and Goobs is sweeping.

It's on! I visited the teams preparing on the beach in Hollywood FL yesterday. Good fun! Organizers are posting on FB lots. That's where the action ...

So sad to hear. I met him briefly here in Miami when we had a bunch of foiling beach cats. He was curious, asked a thousand questions, as if he was to...

It works. What the reverse spreaders gives you is the ability to go to a much lighter bendier mast, where you have wider range to control stiffness vi...

Seaspecs for me ---- wraparound, buoyant frames (or add a floaty), integrated strap. I've had to re-glue the strap attachment. They can handle the ab...

If you are going to try the footpath... - check whether it's viable mast up, wrt trees/branches overhead - get/borrow some beach wheels if possibl...

Good advice on materials thanks! True -- at ~82Kg I am too light to right it solo, but with crew and meeting the prescribed weight (and more), we ca...
