What's possibly confusing is the two part forestay. The short upper forestay with ring is attached to the tang or hound along with the side stays (ri...

Believe it or not, Jeff Prindle stopped by Fastlane (Ron Lane's store) and bought a used P-16 last year! Pete

It would be for rent Jan-Apr. Yes, we'll take reservations. Pete

Hi Pete, Have a P-16 on the beach at the city center in La Paz, capital of Baja Ca. Sur & 2 hours across peninsula from Cabo San Lucas. Whale sharks ...

How about shims under the beam as you tighten bolts? Pete

Have a set of 5.2 rudders & castings. Pete 909-800-5237

Certainly. Sounds like the bungie on your dagger stop control is needing change. I have some unidirectional carbon fiber $10/yd (see my ad in classi...

You have a 2 piece halyard connected with sister clips. Run the halyard thru the ring, then thru the short pigtail of upper forestay & back down thru...

Have 5.2 sails (see my ad in classifieds) and mast which I can ship. Pete

Depends on whether you have dogbones or Can't Miss (round) trap handles on end of harness lines, but I like butt buckets with a spreader bar. Squeeze...

The P-16 part is 1" wide & 1/2" rod hole. I've seen Nacra ones that are wider though. Pete

Dave, Click on Murrays sports, then on Catamarans, then on Prindle parts. Item # 56-2009 is LIKE the part you probably need. Measure your band wid...

When you put a crowd on a cat, it is no longer a multihull, but is a slug. Never more than three when you have good wind (whitecaps). The 4th person...

My neighbor who loves to sail his Tornado with his wife here on our lake just came back from Indiana vacation where he has a near new Nacra 6.0. He's...

Sounds like your budget is around $2000. Go pick up one of those P-16 in Twin Lakes or Holton for a $1000 & run down to South Bend for those beach wh...

Tiger 2216 has best answer. Drill a small hole near top of trailing edge of blade & tie to crossbar. Pete

Your last sentence is correct. For the last 30 years I just use a piece of duck tape over that very small compartment. Pete

And I would certainly have a set of hull covers dragging a boat across the country. Never know when a driver is going to make a diversion on gravel t...

My daughter & I will be there as will neighbor Paul & Ruth. Pete

From previous posts, you must be from SoCal. Any major sailmaker along coast should be able to put a new cringle (grommet) in if sailcloth is not to...

I would suggest a 6:1 Harken mainsheet system, Harken jib blocks, a used hotstick (Arriba stick) depending on your yoke on crossbar. Check the post o...

If you can't straighten it, I have masts & can ship. See my ad under classifieds---parts. Pete

Have you checked out Sarasota Sailing Squadron? Pete

I prefer the Murrays ring with offset tit-off for $26.50 (paid $25 last time). Guess we call them all the "Aussie" ring. Pete

Get the Aussie ring ($25), keep knot aft & lubricate bolt rope on sail. Carolina is correct. Pete

Yes, it takes 3 minutes and cost about $.30. Do it just before your next time out & check after... Pete

Peter, Put the silicone on your finger tip & run it all along underside the lip (hull/deck seal). Pinholes here can amount to a cup in moderate wind...

Use a good 3/8" rope for your forestay & get the mast rake where you want it, then flip the boat on the lawn and measure the length. Pete

Windspeed 15, very average boat, very few made, no parts available. Alpha 18 looks sweet but is not fast and is firehose in the face going to weather...

Hullflyer, H-16 jib is going to be wire luff, not zipper. Pete
