Hi PT, Sam chiming in here. I do have a spare Infusion/Evolution mast here in MD, but at the moment it is spoken for as a spare for a 2024 Worrel...

Personally I would pass. I picked up a similar Hobie 18, did the deck repairs, new rigging, new jib, added a spin kit etc. In the end, only the traile...

Both boats are modern, high performance, spinnaker equipped catamarans capable of providing plenty of sailing fun! The Nacra 20 is the more powerful o...

If you get the Hydroturf with 3M backing and your deck is smooth, it should stick without issue. Even on textured non-ski (gelcoat), I managed to get ...

Carbon will be a challenge to source. Maybe a F16 carbon section, maybe. I have a F18 mast for a Nacra Infusion/Evolution in like new condition that ...

Ouch. I certainly suggest seeing an orthopedic doctor and discuss options. Hopefully they present a good one, and you can focus on selling the Mystere...

I can't speak to the Prindle 15, but the 16 can handle that weight OK. If that your general use case, I would look for a Prindle 18 or Hobie 18 as the...

Brad, The best summer sailing in that part of the world, without any hesitation, is in Rhode Island. Between Bristol and Newport, you're made...plen...

rch701, I stock the line you need and can do the splicing work...pm me if you want a pre-made rigging kit. It won't be cheap-none of this is, but a...

I HATE silicone. It gets gummy and sticks to EVERYTHING, plus it is a pain to remove, and incompatible with epoxy. I stick with PTFE based lubricants ...

You need to talk to a shipping agent in the U.K. I've had no issues with Fedex from Australia to the U.S, but I'm not sure how that is now. More fligh...

McLube Sailkote is actually a teflon-based release film for use in tooling making composite parts, hence the price tag. It sounds like others have de...

What is the mast and where is it located? Mixing used parts with new is problematic these days, you need separate customs documents.

For your location, I would probably go for the biggest square top possible. Issues to consider are the running rigging, as discussed here. While not ...

The trouble with the all aluminum mast is it isn't class legal for Hobie 16 racing. For an older beater boat that never races, its fine, but if you ha...

For what it is worth, most racing sailors use 16:1 downhauls on G-Cat 5.7 sized square top mains...and 10:1 or 12:1 mainsheet systems. I personally re...

Most of the Nacra's, certainly the modern ones, have fixed tiller crossbars with little/no adjustment. So to install an adjuster system like that, you...

There are some funky things going on with the forums. Posting a message through Firefox ALWAYS gives me errors and results in double posts. This has b...

Skip the canacore, at least from what I can see it is a plastic honeycomb. Bonding to that product is a serious issue (see Nidacore failures in the pa...

I generally agree with the advice to look at replacement hulls, which effectively means replacement boats in this size range. A Hobie Tiger comes to m...

Ping Will above, sounds like he has a pair he can sell.

The difference between a pair of bullet blocks and the Nacra or eXploder (marstrom doesn't make these anymore) setups is the nacra/eXploder ring slide...
