Is the setup using multiple single blocks on the boom? One advantage of the double or triple blocks is they work better in light air. So it is easier...

The SC20 does well with daggerboards part way down. I think the SC19 had a board less option with the same basic hull design. If I recall as long as y...

Great boat, with good support still from Aquarius Sails. Boat specific parts are likely expensive but mostly available. 12ft beam makes setup slow, bu...

From my SC20 experience sitting on the hull pushing it in moderate air is like drinking from a fire hose. The water rolls up the rounded hull hits the...

The H17 sail is undersized for most people, so a jib is a great upgrade. However as the wind picks up an undersized sail can be a good thing. So if yo...
