:scared: Great post. I've had number of stainless and "waterproof" items that have had internal springs, parts and mechanisms seize/fail in saltw...

I have great luck with a high quality 20'x12' silver or white tarp with reinforced grommets. Costs about $40 and lasts me 1-2 seasons in the Hawaiian...

Buy a section of a much smaller diameter, and have someone splice it into the end of the mainsheet.

There's been one sitting at the club, unassembled on a trailer for the last year. We had a very nice working Trifoiler here for a while, but the bay ...

can you guys please explain to me why you would go through the time and expense of raising and lowering a snorkel when raising and lowering a jib take...

Theres's one rotting out here on Oahu. Unsailed for 10 years. The jib is rotted but everything is there. Also needs to be chopped up or used.

Suck it up Wookie! 🙄 Better than replacing a jib. Or taking it up/down every sail. After procrastinating, like you, I got mine from Murrays. ...

Make friends with a lakefront property owner,.. 😉

Earl, with the Hobie Tandem Island will be able to furl the sail and drop the mast without drama. It's under 20 feet anyway, when raised. A spinnake...

I think that's right. This has a "professional on vacation" vibe to it. Outstanding sailing and H2O camera work. Probably this guy. Lives in M...

Just replaced my leaking lightweight West Marine bag with this one from Amazon: Much heavier gauge and only $16 for the 10L. $20 for the 20L.

Matt, it bent at the beam, on the ball side. While sailing. Striker was tensioned to spec. The bolt was simply longer than the one we had, but if ...

We bought 2 from Murray’s. The first was too long and bent at the ball. We were demasted. We had to trim 3/4” from the second one.

Great tip Bob. 😉

It’s a fantastic boat Rick. Fast and stable. Great in light winds. Easy to fly a hull. Fun to race too. Sooner or later, you would have lusted aft...

We sail here year round, as you folks do in Florida. I find that year end through January are the months more cats bubble up, due to club storage f...

I had to measure this solo recently and got 86-87". I wrote 87 to be safe. The P18-2 weighed in at around 91" Why do you ask?

If only this multi-tool had ring-ding pliers, I'd blow a couple hundred bucks on it. 😎

I've been using the staple pullers, which work well, but they are not usually stainless and are awkward to pack in a dry bag. There are dozen brand...

I would go for it - if not for the shipping. :angel: Elias, I measured our boats. The 18-2 is 4-5" wider on center between the beams. The insert...

Marty, I second your second-guessing the use of these EZ rings. The ones I've purchased are softer than a similar closed ring, and can be deformed ea...

I would think not, Flyer. I sail both boats and know the booms are different lengths. Wish I could get a set for my P18, out here on the rock. ...

These both work well.

Aloha Bill. "Power To The Prindles" - Right On! :banana:

Good find there, my mindless friend! The goalpost bar on your hitch will help a lot. I would approach this the same way I would hauling a large Ho...

Cool. So, how do you get this on the ski lift? :nikolaus:

That self-righting feature is crazy :-O Also - it's nice of them to put a ladder between those monster hulls.

That boat fit's you like a glove. And the Gimble is working great. How's it set up now?
