That is a big change in value.

$1000 looks like a steal to me.

I am fairly new to the 21 and haven't taken the beams apart yet to look inside. They are interesting, each corner telescopes independently. So there i...

21's are heavy, but with a modern sail and taller mast the 21SC could be a lot of fun. That would solve your crew weight issue. Heavy makng it hard to...

I like Cork's comment about F18 sails on a H18. That sail plan makes a big difference. Or a new squaretop main plus F18 spin would be nice on a H18 to...

Havlii, I love the SC20 also, but you should mention it is 12' wide and requires expanding every time you trailer. This adds a lot of time compared t...

You might also notice my 5 year olds head/hat in my avatar picture. Yes kids behavior/attitude, skipper skill and conditions are all huge factors. In ...

I think a getaway is a good choice for a family cruiser. The wave is likely to small for 3, even if one a toddler. I will vote for my old favorite a H...

There was one in IL recently in the "good deals" forum section recently. Looked like less of s project.

I keep mine on cat trax for the season. That way I am not always picking up the hulls to get the wheels under it. I tie the front and rear crossbars d...

I think a 200hp outboard would really make your 21 fly across the lake.

I have been to several Sandals resorts and they all had Waves you could use at no cost. They were all "well used" but filled my need while n vacation....

I will recommend a Hobie 18 with wings. I am also in the tall sailor club, 6'8" ~220lbs. I love the seating position of the wings versus on the trampo...

Both sides need to collapse to be legal. But nice one side is done doing both is little extra effort. It is a two person job, more is easier but 2 wor...

At our beach they store our masts indoors, so almost everyone takes the mast down. I would think the extra 6 months of mast banging around on the shro...

Come to the dark side Damon. The 21 is a sweet ride but not a trailer sailer's boat, unless you trailer it expanded. As far as family sailing, I have ...

Couldn't go wrong with drysuit. However a good full wetsuit under a wind proof top and pants should work also. More like rain pants just to keep the w...

I like a 3mm farmer john with a spray top. I found with a full suit I was still wearing a spray top to keep the wind off the wetsuit. This combo wor...

Looks like a nice PFD. I have an Exsport Retroglide which is also a kayaking vest wth pockets. I really like the short length combined with the pocket...

Damon the most amazing thing about the container ships is how fast they move.

Maybe it has a Nacra sail and mast?

Had a good experience with Uship. Used Buzzstransport and seemed like a good guy semi-retired wanting to see the country. Said he is a fisherman and h...

I think very little difference I agree with above. If you are comfortable with a 18 the SX taller mast is not that big a difference. The wings however...

Boat is currently in route with a carrier from Uship site. Fingers crossed but seems like a reputable person so far.

To clarify the H21SE is 10' wide and does not have a front tramp. The H21SC has front tramp, 8' wide with smaller sailplan. I grew up sailing a Superc...

That was a bit ironic. I am the one transporting one from CA to Chicago.

Check with Hobie Fleet 2. They have done weekend sails across the lake. They put in on the North end and camp on the south end, but don't know the act...

You will be in good hands Bob. That also sounds like a deal for beach storage.

Any boat you will get out and use is better than one sitting in your garage. Sunfish, lasers, etc are much more fun to sail than sitting on shore watc...

Shipping from Northern California to Chicago. Thanks for the feedback. I was surprised to see mostly 5 star reviews, always makes me wonder if there i...
