A tornado isnt depowered in 20?

Wouldn't it depend on what wind you were in? If it really started to blow I'd rather have the comp tip and extra flex up top.

Is your boat at the rudder club? My buddy saw a g cat over there yesterday.

Awesome, another local. Interesting how so many cat sailors end up near the causeway. If you see yellow hulls it's probably me. I plan to do a lot of ...

What size gators would be trying to eat me off the trapeze that weekend?

I was in a race once and it kept switching between trap and non trap weather. Eventually I forgot I wasn't hooked in and went to trap. My mainsheet wa...

Left the nacra in the garage and stuffed the Hobies in the living room. The house is within about 5 miles of where the eye of the storm should pass. F...

The prediction for Tampa has dropped from 90 mph gusts to 60 today. I'm curious what wind speeds start to threaten the house and trees etc. I have tim...

I've been seeing all these great condition marstroms, some with tilt trailers for next to nothing but they were all in the great lakes area and out of...

I have a dual exit 8:1 on one boat and a single exit 6:1 on the other. Dual exit is a waste because it doesn't bend the mast enough to actively use it...

For a good hull I could see someone paying 200-400. Much more than that would seem steep.

I had a mower do that do my hot tub once. It still worked though. I'd be pissed if that happened to my boat. The only solution might be to add a few l...

Good info guys. I have an abnormally large amount of books on sailing and sail theory but nothing much on hydrodynamics related to cats our size. If a...

Oh ok, well I can believe these are the thin ones. I think I remember reading that for rudders the profile is very specific to the speed the foil is m...

We should be going since the boats will already be up there the previous weekend for Juana's.

For sure, I just wanted to make sure the boards had the right shape first before fitting the trunks to them.

What would make it not legal. Did they have some sort of stiffness spec back then or something?
