When you rent the P-18, ask them to drop the mast & then you throw it up (since you do not have mast up beach storage). That is the test for you (60 ...

Ron, The P-16 has 190 sq ft sail area vs 218 in H-16, so P-16 might have edge in 15 knots and above, while H-16 is faster in light & medium wind. P-...

There could be a 8.0 earthquake and there will be a Tri Point Race. Pete

Have one, Pete 909-800-5237

must still be a lot of ice on Shuswap Lake. Pete

Mrekker, have 2" rolls of fiberglas tape, email me, but you'll need to buy qt of epoxy & microballoons. You'll need palm sander to finish. Pete

Kernunnos, Have light weight plastic fenders off a Trailex trailer & plenty of dogbones. Email me for a pic. Pete

I've given up on the one in Detroit listed now for $200 as no place to put it & get out to Ca. Pete

Does singlehanding mean you're going to raise the mast yourself? Pete

For light winds, crew can simply hook the jib sheet around end of main beam, but for medium wind or more you want to open the slot between jib & main ...

It's not the 38' rig, but the 33' rig, and yes, I was tempted. Be a great Lake Michigan boat. Pete

Yes I was. And I think the H-18 also had flat top. Didn't make that morning meeting, so will be more aware of it this year. Pete

This is a very well balanced boat of modest weight with kick up centerboards. Sail area of 235 sq.ft. should move it better than 77.8 PN, but with mi...

Years ago, I spotted empty spaces at the dinghy dock. Had a friend who kept his 30+ monoslug at Y.C. We went to office & they said dinghy dock was $...

Chula Vista ramp is best place to sail South Bay. It's a tight beat to channel opening, but you can do it. If the dinghy dock has any room (need 20'...

Try Chip Buck (Whirlwind). I was so tired after Tripoint last year, never looked at results or PN's. Do they use the modifications? Pete

Just sold set of pin-tops, but Bob that changes your PN from 69.1 to 68.75 ? Pete

Guess I'll stop collecting parts here in So.Cal. Pete

Inject with resin. Put on latex gloves, drill 1/8" holes 2" apart, inject with plastic syringe (3 pumps at a time with West epoxy), wipe excess with ...

Murrays out of stock for that base. I have one-try pbegle@charter.net. Pete

Sounds like either the stainless hinge is broken or one of the flange (aluminum) holes on mast base has torn away. Pete

The whole key to your decision is how you will raise the mast. At your age & height, you might be able to throw up a 26' Hobie or Prindle 16 mast. N...

I have trailers all the time for So. Cal market, listed at $200-$250 and sell few. Pete

I've always had to take rear casting off. Pete

Hands downh, the Prindle 16. Pete

Johnny, Your traveler track is probably gouged on the TOP because over the years the mast rested on it with no padding. Some of the white rollers fr...

It was so long ago, I don't remember. Pete

Murrays Sports (.com) carries a replacement traveler car for $80. Made with much better rollers than the white ones. You can take out the rivits on ...

In the past, I've had much better sex sleeping side by side on the trampoline. Pete

Hey Grog, Will soon have Tornados on the beach here on Big Bear Lake and you're welcome to come up for a sail. This is landsail season for us until ...
