As I've lost/broken just about all this, sometimes on vacation far from a marine/hardware store/dealer or at a regatta where a quick fix is needed, he...

My Steelco-Sportsman trailer has 4.80-12 tires, too, and it sits level and rides well on my draw bar which is at the perfect height to smash my upper ...

ste4: A lot of newer sailors do this race with no problems, but there are some who have no business in it due to their lack of skills, boat condition,...

I've had a patch on my mesh H16 tramp for years. I sandwiched the tear between two pieces of vinyl (cut out of an old dry bag) glued it with PVC pipe...

And consider buying some extra for later use (e.g., when your trap lines get worn). There's a lot of 3/16" line on a H16, and it's a handy size to ha...

Scroll toward the end here:br /> A ratchet strap works well to get the prebend. A piece of 3/4" PVC pipe with a hole through the top portion (insert...

Dogboy has it right (as usual). We once had a wave lady in our club, and she had great difficulty backing it. Being the experienced manly type backe...

(Beating a dead horse).......Before you spend coin on new lines just to change colors, I highly recommend that you work toward upgrades to the jib tra...

Dude.....even if you have to do a little work on those Gen1 EPOs, they're worth almost as much as you paid for the boat! They will it an H16, too (wi...

Tim: You probably know that my daughter and I have a 14T. Other than the obvious (soft spots, etc.), the first thing I'd check is to make sure the ma...

As Tim says, we get plenty of sailable winter days in our clime (I try to sail at least once each month), but you have to gear up for the water (not a...

When I did mine (in the yard), I didn't even remove the shrouds and trap wires. I just placed the mast/wires where they would sit between the siderai...

Yup....I'm a little surprised that no one is making them out of Sunbrella or similar. It has worked well at covering my tramp/hulls but not trapping ...

Holy cow....nearly 30 H16s are registered already!

Done.....worked fine and confirmation was immediate. See ya' Friday (but I won't be on the F-28!)!

Yay! I'm sure I speak for everyone here in saying we're very glad this worked out for you. Best of luck in the recovery of your entire community and...

I'm looking forward to the beach wheels, and will probably keep the cradles, although I'm kinda fond of my "Cheap Bastards Club" (CBC) standing for th...

Damon: I sent you an e-mail with regard to the Portsmouth Tables.

The cradles are expensive, too, but they sure are nice! The boat tends to stay where it's put on the cradles instead of having the wheels roll back a...

Sent you a PM that might be of some help. Good luck!!

See y'all there!

A couple of more tips on the H14T: 1. We are religious about removing the drain plugs for draining/ventilation after each sail, and I also insist o...
