If it were me, all lines that are listed as 1/4 inch would be downsized to 3/16. The main halyard needs to be almost double the length of the mast. T...

The setup you describe is correct. One set, on main beam, not rear. Keeps beam from rotating.

You all like to spend money. Sister clips, hog rings, shrink tubing....... Tie a sheet bend.

Terry, That's the same setup as on all the Nacra boats. (ball on a post) Like you I use a winch on the trailer and attach it to a trap wire. My crew...

Wow........ interesting pictures and read. The way it's set up, there's a continuous traveler line and no way to cleat it. It's like you have to hand...

I doubt many here have ever seen a dingo besides in a picture in the links above. How about uploading a picture here and let us see what you have.

On a 5.5 SL the wires are the same length and the crew (front) goes through the main beam. If I were you, I would measure what you have and get them c...

The thing circled in red is a base for a swivel cam cleat. It looks like someone tried to move the Jib sheet cleats to the main beam like on a Hobie 1...

Probably the micro (16MM) but could be the 29mm. Probably 29's on your mast.

Yes, looks like your missing a set of cheek blocks. Interesting that it's 3 holes. I would have thought there would have been 2 cheek blocks on either...

No grommet on the lower several feet of the luff of the main?

It's called a leech line.

I don't use them. Years ago I used one on my tiller to tiller crossbar connection but, salt water destroys them. I do use a snap shackle on my upper ...

Pre-bend. My F18 mast and my old 5.5 SL mast were/are set the same. 450 lbs on the diamond wires and 1.5 inches of spreader rake. I would assume your ...

Yep there are several ways to "Canadian Rig It", wire, zip ties, duct tape, even rubber bands or bungee. You can even re-weld it, if you have a welder...

"O' Great One!" Coming in loud and clear although there is an occasional echo.

My understanding is that all cat sailors are safe and accounted for although most of their boats are damaged, some beyond repair.

Not to steer you away from thebeachcats.com but for Stiletto's for sale.....

Look for a NOR and registration info on Regattanetwork.com sometime after the May 1 is my guess. The date I have is May 23 and 24.

See this thread. Good info and I don't have to re type.
