My back is still messed up and I have to move to jacksonville around mid september so not sure I'll be able to make either. Still too early to call it...

I had hand sewed my window back together and then taped over it and it survived a year. Then after talking with a sail maker they said to just go to J...

Klasse and like one other are the only sealants that can survive upward of a year. Everything else is pretty much gone in a month or two regardless of...

Just a tornado sail. Boat looks like a Nacra 20 to me

Nice. That’s really close to how I’m building mine

Boat looks like a slam dunk win. They don’t get cheaper than that unless it’s a charity giveaway. You can solo just about anything. Me and my buddy so...

I just drilled a cross hole through the mast track and put a clevis pin through for a face to pull the halyard over. Works decent.

You might be lucky and have your stripes actually on the seams of the jib. Many hobie color stripes were dyed on a large roll and cannot be replicated...

Only way to know for sure is to move the car around and see if the wrinkles go away. They don’t look like car position problem wrinkles to me. Looks l...

Wouldn’t the boat just turn over sideways if you had too much power? Not sure the boat would notice a difference in loads compared to just having the ...

The sail actually goes up pretty good, I just always manually take up the last 6-12" before hooking it. A new tape might not be a bad idea though, or ...

Just saw in your first photo they have both sides of the sheeting system run together through the blocks. The one I saw you had to tighten each side i...

I saw a video describing that setup once. Was apparently mostly used on offshore boats because you could prevent an accidental jibe by tightening the ...

Kinda got a post echo going on lol. The way I wrote that means the square was first. A 5.5 was made from the squares hulls

18 feet long max, 18 sq/m of sail, anything else goes. Open class from back in the day. Nacra at first used 5.2 hulls but then stretched them to 18 fe...

Hold on, let me go swing a piece of plywood through the air and compare the drag to a tennis racket.

Depends on the size of the hole. You wouldn’t have them up going to windward. You pull a foot on a beam reach so you don’t snap a board when it’s blow...
