One thing to add is boats with boards tend to be easier to tack. It provides a pivot point for the boat to turn around instead of pushing the entire s...

It really helps if you live near an interstate. Had a boat trailer hauled across country, but both ends were in interstate 80, made cost very reasonab...

Agree a 17 is not made for us bigger people. Getting under the boom is a pain and forget about sailing it with crew, except maybe small kid.

Nice solution. Looks like the top ones are in jail.

I use a 1” NRS strap and a rubber bungee to hold my masts to the cradles. Strap makes sure it stays attached, bungee to keep pressure on them to preve...

I want to have this problem!! I like John’s idea of vertically with the upper wheel resting on a fork of some kind.

Hobie Fleet 30 will be at Lake Perris Saturday 5/14. Come on out and meet us a sail cove near the dam. Would be happy to help figure out your rigging....

Also check where the cross bars attach to the hulls. This can be a weak spot as well. Look got cracks around where the top lip meets the hull.

Look for a Getaway. I am also a big guy and the H16 isn’t big enough. Getting under the boom is a pain if you are bigger. I have 2 waves and they are ...

Check out Gilson sailing beach on Lake Michigan. Mast up storage all summer.

Super cats are so forgiving, but we also pitchpoles a SC20 once. Hit a boat wake at full power on a reach and Peter panned out front. Remember watchin...

We would winch the SC20 mast up with a gin pole. 33’ Aluminum, and large cross section. We also sometimes used 3 guys if it was on the beach when we p...

I meant it is a shame more have not been made. They are great boats, but a small customer base.

SC20’s are amazing solo boats until the wind picks up. Then even the 12’ beam can’t help you…… we used to fly a hull with 2 on the wire and 2 sitting ...

That is a lot of boat for $3k.

I love the H18 especially with wings. That being said, there are a lot more H16’s out there so parts are easier to find. The daggerboards on the H18 m...

The 21SC is a “sport cruiser”. There was a place for a big cooler and semi dry storage area in it also. They made a tent that used the boom and wings ...

Assuming pictures are real on both I think they are different boats. Different trampoline color for example. Also the copart one shows damage to the c...

That could be a good deal for someone.

Great advise right there

It really depends on wind direction and conditions. Wind blown waves can be hard since your launch angle is broadside to the waves. So getting rudders...

Chuck, Maybe try sailing always sitting on the trampoline. That might be similar to a narrow beam. Then sit with you back against the wings, and that...

Very observant Dogboy. I hadn’t looked that closely.

Also to note those wings could probably be sold for $350, and then boat and trailer would be free.

Nice pictures Chuck, beautiful looking boat. On mine I had an access port on the top of the hull behind the rear crossbar to access the wing pockets ...

I am using Safari on my iPhone. Thanks for investigating Damon.

Going from a 21 to a Getaway will be a very big change. You might try going back to an 18. That is what I did. I started trailer sailing again and the...

I have never Peter panned of my wings, but I have off a SC20. That 12’ beam is similarly exciting. One issue with wings is you run out of runway quick...
