Down haul is maxed in pic. I knew clew didn’t sound correct. Here is the yoke installed. Good catch I appreciate it Edit: I'll ditch the snap hook, ...

The job is complete. It took about 3 hours to finalize, drill, rivet, add a cleat to the boom, clean up, etc. I may move the cleat for the jib (blue r...

I'm wondering if the curved bar induces the rotation. I've got this set up, but my cross bar is straight and it does not rotate like yours.

Screen shot from a YouTube video. Probably what I’ll aim for. Edited by tradisrad on May 03, 2020 - 08:24 AM.

I like this setup.Edited by tradisrad on May 02, 2020 - 12:43 PM.

As far as I know my version is the extreme as it also has the spinnaker and I believe the boom is stock. It had the 14/16 mast base for rotation contr...

I went ahead and ordered the 18 gooseneck mount. Once I get it I will mock up both options and go from there.

Here is a closer pic. I just installed the down haul the original was a hook that went through an eye on the boom and to the clew. I’m not totally st...

Thanks for the reply. It’s a fun little cat, like a Wave on steroids. I too am leaning for over the boom. I’m hoping a few more folk will chime in. ...

I did the jib on my wave years ago (sold the boat). I don't recall any change to the bridal or forestay. I did add several more Hanks to the jib so it...

I use a bungee cord that ties to the outer end of the front cross beam, wraps around the mast at the bottom of the sail and ties (clips) to the other ...

I slathered it with anti-seize as that is what I have on hand. Is the Tefgel better?

The post is in. Had to notch the spacer due to the cross beam shape, but it fits just right. Thanks for the help.

That's good idea to turn a shoulder on the sleeve, if there is enough length we'll do that. The current post is corroded to the mast base and I've be...

thanks. I am customizing the crossbar. I did get in touch with Matt from Hobie. He said to have the larger hole on the bottom and combined with your a...

My Wave had access ports towards the rear of the hulls on the flat area behind the cross bar. They were simple 8 or 9" ports with twist on lids. I no ...

A lot of these guys are far more experienced than I am. I release the traveler because it's quicker than sheeting out as I pass through the wind. I ha...

I am no expert, but in the video I think he should have back-winded the jib and that would have pushed him around onto the new tack. Also, he should h...

I was thinking of making my own fabric tarp. I started out by making one out of a $20 harbor freight tarp and, well I got no further..... I basically...

Randii, We love Loon Lake and have camped there for the past 8 years. Sadly, I forgot to reserve it for this year and by the time I got to it my favor...

I also use the trapeze lines to stabilize the mast while raising/lowering. For some reason my front beam has some flip-flop block on it and I use them...

We took the 460 to Pillar Point today. Went out in the ocean, the swells were small and the wind was blowing 15+ and gusting to the mid 20's. Docking ...

Thanks for the replies guys, I appreciate it. Basically what I thought. Here is a little more about what's going on: Last year I bought the 460, rep...
