Please do. It's been year years since I've been Ice boating. I would say it rivals water catamaran. Need to start a Ice boat thread on here 🙂 popey...

That is a good idea! I'm going to have to remember to do that with mine. coastrat wrote: i store my boat winter/summer like this, ports off, bows...

Has anyone ever tried these?

I found sandals like these worked well. Nice solid sole, and good grip.

Jib furler definitely way to go here IMHO. He just has to know that it will be harder to tack without a jib. Delay crossover until last moment. Also ...

Thank-You for the wonderful explanation and offer to help EdChris177! Just one more project for this spring. Beginning to wonder if I shouldn't star...

Congrats! She's a beauty! Have you named her yet?

It sounds like it is a piece of 2x4x4. There is a crack indentation about 2 feet up from the front crossbeam mid pontoon. I don't have access ports ...

As I don't have access to my cat during the winter. I will only be doing small projects and planning the larger projects for when the spring comes. -...

These guys crossed the Atlantic on a Beach Cat? Edited by nl_expatriate on Oct 28, 2011 - 09:57 PM.

Those are some great pics thanks! I actually used roofing screws to attach my tramp rails 😡 Does make it a little dangerous for wet suits, but wo...

I usually read, listen to the radio, sun tan and always fix things on the deck. More importantly try and get ashore before the wind peters out.

Since I did put a spi-pole on the 18-2 , and bought a second-hand spi from a F18 class, downwind sailing is more than a handfull. I've been following...

I don't suppose you took pictures of this process before and after?

Pictures would have been nice. To see before and after.

When in your shore rack remove the jib sheet and tie a line or bungee or something through the clew and around the rolled up jib to keep it under wrap...

I've removed the jib configuration and am now trying for a hooter as the pics will show. Sorry about my feeble attempts at posting a pic I was cuttin...

Is your main loose-footed? I've never seen a Sq w/o an outhaul. Yes she is loose footed. Here is a closer pic of the boom area. That HM line out...

Thank You for your response! If you're sailing an original NACRA Square, it'll have a fairly bendy mast, and putting a headsail on it is a very bad i...

I tried adding a jib I picked up but it turned out badly when it unfurled in its shore rack. Nuff said. At the end of this year I found an Allum s...

I like the story line of this one.

I watched in horror as my daughters boyfriend and buddy pitch poled my NACRA 18 squared this summer. No foul no harm. They both lost their sneakers w...
