I use the Hydro-Turf anti-skid. Works pretty good. The honest truth is, at 68 years of age, i no longer go out on the trap. Wish I could, but just ...

What's your budget. You can buy a brand new Trailex aluminum catamaran trailer for $1730 including shipping. Or what I would do is use the SearchTem...

That is not an unusual failure for the halyard. The first time it happened to me, I was on a race to Put-In-Bay in Lake Erie and out of sight of the m...

I have used Debond Marine Formula on tough adhesives. I know it works on caulks, adhesives and decals. It is harmless to gel coat and laminations but...

We don't know what kind of adhesive was used, however Marine Debond formula will go through very tough adhesives like 3M-5200 with time. It won't diss...

I usually am able to raise the main on the beach. If the wind is from the beam then I have to ensure the sail battens clear the shrouds and trapeze wi...

3M-5200 is an adhesive caulk commonly used in marine applications for through-hull and hardware sealing. It has very strong adhesive quality. 3M-4200...

If you missed Labor Day Weekend on Pymatuning, you missed a great one. Didn't see you out there.

I agree, and will try a 3/16 line for the downhaul. Lots cheaper than replacing the cleats. I always release the rudders before beaching. We have a r...

I use the big-bag righting system from Murray's. I can't right solo, but it comes up quick by adding weight or a second person. I'll bet I'm bigger t...

I think the line size is the largest that won't foul in the rudder casting and is in like-new condition. The teeth in the cleat have just become dull...

Shawn, I use the aluminum pivmatics like you linked on my Monohull and actually would only need one as I have one in the "parts bin". I guess this co...

I use the Cat Bag righting system. and also have a Universal Righting System . The Bag is used if I'm solo and the Universal if I have a second per...

Is the idea to give some lift to the aft end of the boat while underway? I'm not sure it would stabilize the ride at speed. My Nacra seems to cut thro...

All you have to do is to relieve the compression of the strap, not remove it. There are two straps, so only the outboard strap needs to be removed. ...

Wish we had the updated colors you have, but we have been on the lake since 1983:

I thought I'd grab a couple pictures of my mast halyard to show what I do. In the image below are two bungee cords. One runs along the front crossbar...

We keep the boat on the eastern shore of the lake at the south-end about 1/2 mile south of that Alpaca Farm where the Flag, Gazebo and rock seawall ma...

The notched model raises higher for transport and on the beach which is nice. Both can drag in the water for shallow steering. I kind of like the no...

I actually have mis-matched rudders. One is like what is shown in the image above by rungi, the other is the stock 5.7 rudder. Notice port side has a...

I'll look for you next time out. I was on the Precision 23 today with nice winds beating from Jamestown to the Bay, but ended up motoring back to dock...

I'm seeing $27.46 for a used copy in acceptable condition on Amazon $30 from Murry's Marine but probably in new condition if not new.br />Edited by t...

If that is your boat in the avatar, I saw you. Winds were not great, but we got some movement. Your sails are very noticeable. Are they new? Anyway,...

Winds locally are forecast for 2-6 MPH tomorrow. When nature throws you lemons, the best policy is to toss a worm on a hook into the water. Chances ...

Thanks again to Edchris for my Delrin rudder screws. The old ones were gone and really appreciate a forum member stepping up.
