Cool stuff. I'd say just merge the data all under thebeachcats name and forward the domain here. 99% of the information someone needs has already been...

I once launched an H18 on a very steep boat ramp with a rusted out 87 b2000 2wd truck I bought as a joke for a few hundred bucks. Was a manual and had...

I solo up the mast on my 18 almost every time. I find it easier than with multiple people because I can actually stand directly under the mast instead...

Ive use the stohlquist rocker and it's never gotten in my way. I like that my arms are super free moving so when I am waving them around like a propel...

Yea don't underestimate how deep some stains can be in gelcoat. I literally sanded off half to 3/4 of the gelcoat on one of my boats trying to get rid...

Man when I see the Brits with a big gap to the field like that it makes me want to go find a N17 and throw down.

Why haven't they changed the rules to allow you to bump people when they are in your way? This has been a problem at like every race I've been to.

Why is there a limit?

One of my boats had hulls that were pretty worn out like that and a little wet sanding and machine polishing brought them back pretty well. I think th...

And American flag bandanas were worn. Very few times in history was America made this great againEdited by tamumpower1 on Dec 06, 2016 - 01:57 PM.

Pretty sure I saw a few Aquata harnesses hanging in the Tackle Shack here locally. It could have just been old stock they were selling off though.

Just to confirm / answer my own question. I emailed NACRA and they said the mast section didn't change between the 5.X boats and was always the same b...

I'd be interested in some related info to this as I heard some early Nacra 18 square masts were thinner/weaker than later ones. Any info on what switc...

No worries. If you really mess up you'll usually know from the high volume of yelling coming from the other boat..

I want to throw down but dang, broken masts? I think there's a ton of logistics issues to deal with for such a long race. I like the idea of loop di...

You can sail without boards on any point of sail besides close winded. The helm will be stiffer because you dont have a board to pivot around but it's...

Yea there was a group of weta boats I ran against recently. They went pretty good but when we both put the spinnakers up they didn't do as well. That ...

So where are all the photos they had on the TV screens at the end of the event? The juanas website only has a few in their album from the event.

Well we made it out finally. We almost ran out of gas and one of our caravan broke down an hour and a half out and had to drive back in my truck to ge...

Just FYI the Days Inn just called me and told me about a mix up on the price that they had accidentally listed as double the rate. They said they had ...

So I talked with the Juanas people and got them to add a link so you can not only see who is registered but also what boat they are bringing. It's at ...

So the real question is...whether there's going to even be a Pagoda there in 24 hours..
