That PBR keg better be empty . . .

That's why I asked about the previous owner. You should not have a cable at the top, that's probably the issue. Curious if the previous owner has ac...

I want him as my crew. Dude never lost trim on the spin sheet. Impressive.

Yes, either side of the mast. They have fairleads on the front beam to keep the line from getting into other stuff on the beams.

I've been watching the AC45's and have been studying their layout. They run their continuous sheet on each side of the tramp to the rear beam and the...

That's what I thought Ed. Glad to know that I'm not the only one. I've decided to nip this in the bud. The original Nacra rudders subject has been ...

I'm not totally on board with what sail you want to put on what boat, but . . . and you already know this, the 5.5 is boomless and by design, pulls ...

Are you looking to do this on the H16 or H18? Research or google hooter, typical of what has been done for a furling head sail. On the beach cat, a ...

Ideally, 3/16" of "quality" double braid to minimize stretch. Low stretch single braid will work also.

UFB!!! I hang by head in shame and frustration . . . Has anybody actually READ this thread from the beginning?? :wallbash: I'm curious Ed, are y...

I'm not sure if you're confusing me or yourself . . . Did you mean foot length (as in main sail) or boom length? Sail trim is dynamic. All that you...
