I got mine off of eBay. They say "happy fisherman" on them, (small tag), and have many pockets, there is even a pocket on the back side for storage as...

Strange hulls, but, cute little cat.

With the mast caddie, did the bottom bolt get bent on the ones that y'all had or is the bolt supposed to be bent? I'm talking about the adjuster bolt,...

I wear board short style quick drying swim shorts, t-shirt, neoprene shoes, sailing gloves, life vest, and sunglasses. That's about it. I only sail in...

I agree, very touching. Man, that was hard to read through watery eyes. Rest in Peace Miss Mary, fair winds and following seas.

That was great, and looks like my boat!!! Lol!!! Even though I haven't sailed as much as I would have liked to, a day doesn't go by when I don't think...

Isn't that the same boat that was posted here as an 18 ?

Yes, excellent advice. I highly recommend setting up everything in your yard. Rig up everything just like you were at the beach or lake. Check all th...

Yeah, we got 3 inches of snow last night, not going sailing anytime soon. I don't do cold!!! Lol!!!

Yes, big thanks here as well. That guy should not have acted the way he did, very immature to say the least. Now let's move forward as a community, he...

Glad to hear you saved this boat and are beginning to give it a new life! Can't wait to see pics!

My question is, what's up with the bows? Looks like material has been added to change the shape.

Yeah, it doesn't give very much detail about the boats and parts.

This is the Mast Caddie I was talking about. Murryays used to sell this - i don't see it anymore

Dang it, I ran out of popcorn. Wow, sounds like someone needs to chalk this one up as a life lesson and just move on. This is a great and helpful co...

I use a piece of equipment called a "Mast Caddie" and it works pretty well and keeps the mast up and off of the rear crossbar. It came with the boat s...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!!!

Already posted about this but would like to add that when I was inquiring about a Hobie 14 once, I asked the seller to send me some pics in a message,...

Wow, that sucks. I grew up in Niceville, graduated from NHS in 1984, Mom, was a science teacher there as well. Anyway, don't know who Tom is but he r...

Wonder who got It? I think That boat had more issues than just needing a trampoline, that port side hull sure did look wavy.

I've got a pair of Rapala pliers that are long needle nose type and have a beak-like end just like those Xuron pliers. I found them once when I was fi...

It has a label on it that states it's a Sea Moth II by AMF/Alcort. Whatever it is, it's kind of cool. Looks fast, strange decks though but, yeah, thos...

I didn't know that such pliers existed. Thanks for the advice and thanks to all for the responses.

Okay I get it now. The boats in the Alter Cup were all made by a single manufacturer and were in a sense, supposed to be equal. I misunderstood and th...

As far as tramp stuff goes, as this was originally a post about trampoline technology, I would assume that if you are a racer you will want a mesh typ...

What is the history of the boat? I don't remember seeing anything in the ad about racing history, but just was wondering why it had different colored ...

Just curious, what is the easiest to use, but reliable and not going to disengage when it comes to things, to keep pins in place with no worries? I'v...

Nice boat but im confused. 2 pictures show the boat with white hulls, and 1 pictures shows the boat with a yellow hull. Hmmm, wierd.

Okay thanks. I am thinking of switching out all the split rings with something easier to use and thought I'd try the pigtail rings.
