Sounds nice! There's a ton of info out there about tuning the uni H14, but not so much on the H14T. We basically tune and sail it the same as the H1...

Congrats! My main ride is a H16, but I'm partners with my daughter in an "original" H14T as well. It's a great little boat for her, and I have a bla...

Bill, is this what you mean? I understand using the flat blade, but not sure about where to drill a hole, anybody got a photo?/blockquote> That's the...

Sun is the main enemy here, and IMO the only fool proof solution is to keep the hulls covered. I do it, but it's a time consuming hassle. With the c...

Funny, but I run my boat with one dogbone and one coated wire circle grip thing (J&H "Can't Miss" handle) on each side as well. It's really just a ma...

From all accounts, teflon thread (e.g., Dupont's Tenara) is the way to go these days. It ain't cheap, but it supposedly lasts. I haven't seen it ava...

The spring loaded pin things on the jib traveler is confusing me. I really don't understand the thinking behind those things, are they supposed to be...

Lexan rudders really don't take paint like polyester and epoxy will. Best results I've seen were using the spray paint specifically made for plastics...

martyr: A little late to the party here, but FWIW I've been using homemade Al pins from HD for 20 years, and never had a problem. The only pins I've ...

See y'all Friday afternoon!

Sounds like Adam has you fixed up, but in case you end up tackling this yourself, I'll share my "experience"..... First, Hobie's traveler replacement...

How was your outing, Tim? We had 7 boats go out for a sunset/blue moon sail here on The Rez. Awesome moonlight, perfect temps, and a good, steady, l...

Sunbrella is awesome at holding up to the sun. It's not waterproof, but I think it's best to have things "breathe" anyway. There's a Sunbrella tra...

I don't have any recommendations for the leak other than the standard submerge, look for bubbles, drain, and seal procedures.....lots of threads on th...
