The factory boom on my 2000 I20 is 104.75 inches not including the gooseneck. Add 2 inches for the gooseneck.

Are you using the trailer to launch or dragging it up on beach wheels? Beach wheels are much lighter but then you still have to load the boat back on...

Are you using a block and tackle to raise your water bag or just lifting it? We spent quite a bit of time practicing righting the I20 in no wind condi...

You did well to keep the mast floating. Our first I20 capsize ended turtled. The I20 has a composite mast head fitting and uses a foam plug to seal th...

Any good contact cement like Weldwood will work. Readily available at any home improvement store. I would try to get most of the old glue off but woul...

When I had my 6.0 we would swap it. Not sure what others are doing but it is sold for heavy air use. I think it would effect sail shape in lighter air...

Not sure if this relates, but the Nacra 6.0 uses a heavier bottom batten in heavy air and is also boomless. With the large jib in heavy air the main ...

Here is a thread with information on pressure testing your hulls.

If you plan to sail with the little ones I would recommend another H18 with wings or a getaway. An F18 will be cramped with all on board. If it will m...

I have definitely seen Hobie's being sailed out of the Bitter End club in the past. I also know that some of the resorts in Jamaica have cats. I am pr...

Most likely a righting pole. How was it secured to the dolphin striker? Pete
