Yep, H18 is not dry when sitting on the tramp or hull. Much drier on wings, until your wing hits the next wave while hull in a wave trough. Swept crew...

I had 12:1 on my 21SE with a squaretop. It is a lot of line to deal with, but don’t know how you sheet in a 7 or 8:1 when powered up. I had an extende...

If you have a 21 and need a new mast, I think it would be a very good deal. If you don’t need the parts, not a good deal. Same goes for the wings. Par...

My 21SE has the same issue with the H20 connector. I always assumed it was the curved tiller that caused the problem. Wish I had an answer, but wanted...

Nice looking sails. My 21SE has a whirlwind squaretop. Love the sails. I also went from an 18 to 21. To me it sails a lot like the 18, just bigger and...

Supercat 20 has a lot of volume. Also the Hobie 21 has a big hull volume. Both the 21SE and 21SC have basically the same hulls but very different appl...
