In 2010 My buddy and I sailed his H18 in Mobile Bay one November in wetsuits to just hotrod up and down the bay in front of the club. It was a small c...

you are going to pull the boat full turtle. +1

Are these the ones that use hyfield levers on the shrouds? I have always wondered how the heck they climbed up to reach the release on one of those.

Why not just add the "Ter-nay-der" mast and sail to the Prindle 18? This is going on a Farrier Tramp Trimaran. Every rigger I talk to says the loadi...

Texastuma, I cut 8" off the main and it worked great at Juana's. A buddy of mine is giving me a deal on a P18 mast with a set of Tornado sails. I also...

Cross posted result.

Mike, I also have a Playcat. I reached out to Canada about parts and it was a dead end. I also Tried NACRA Europe but my email was kicked back. I have...

Thanks Bill. Noted about the toping lift. Found this on sailrite

Thanks! I joined the chat. So long Beachcats! jk

Bill, I am still here for you. I have no idea what is going with the website but it seems like it is under attack. Servers overloaded, spam posts. It ...

I agree, I hate to cut a hole in it until I have rudders ready as the rudder tube depends on the strength of the surrounding plastic. Once I have a ho...

I am willing to guess that "wilging" is either spam or just doesn't know how to give credit for my post.

I don't know about CA, but in AL (not an even comparison), I reached out to the State Marine Police and they ran the HIN in their database to show tha...

From an engineering point of view, the side force on the hulls pales in comparison to the force of sailing. However that load is spread over the hull....

I sold my N5.0 over this issue. I am going to attempt to rake my mast back When you do this also rake your rudders under the stern more. I redrilled ...

How do you get a tramp installed if all four sides are bolt rope - remove both crossbars and load them first? I am seeing bolt rope on three sides on ...

Fair enough. I am on the gulf coast. Steady breezes here except near the condos.

Its funny you mention those hiking straps. I have never used them in my 5 years. I was considering removing them. I have never liked leaning off a lot...

Usually owning a "unicorn" of anything means hard to find parts and a weird item, but I am very jealous over this actual Unicorn. Great find. Follow u...

I am definitely following this! I am concerned with torsional stiffness but hey, should be a good story at least.

My battery drill winch. The black tape is to cover the greased bronze bearing. $100 DUTTON LAISON WG1500 WORM GEAR WINCH 1500lb Do the math on the...

I have a worm drive come-along (a very rare find) that I converted to use a battery drill and 3mm dyneema. Spools up 100ft of line. I hook to the mast...

tarch, I have owned both a N5.0 & 5.2. That mast base looks like a Hobie 16 that was modified. The broken piece is the hinge pin connection for gettin...

+1 with Charlescarlis. The spin will lift the pole tip. You need to preload it from the bridle enough to pretty much lift the boat by the pole tip. Th...

maxsail, I know the guy you bought from. I sail out of Fairhope, AL. We should get together sometime! PM me.

No early registration discount? I usually put the deadline in my calendar, but I guess I will just register a week out.
