MN3, I life the bows up with one hand and slide the wheels under with the handle. That's why it helps. I suppose I could elevate and rest the bows on ...

I use the Cat Trax handle to singlehandedly put the wheels under a Nacra 20 and move it around the beach. I find them to be lifesavers and for handlin...

Good info about sail windows. I made a regular habit of capsizing my N20 last fall, and the window of my EP main held up fine. More than I can say for...

I am a turtle biologist and catamaran sailor. Although I do not work with sea turtles specifically, I do believe these animals face some truly grand c...

Lot's of great information to chew on here! Thanks! Incidentally, I'd like to learn how to taper spin halyards and other lines, but don't have the tim...

I was not sure how much broad interest this question would have so I hesitated to ask it. Turns out, you guys gave lots of great advice. I really appr...

samc99us, I really like the mast mount idea, and thanks for the information. I'm going to explore it for next year. Not sure that with other projects,...

Just checked my Amazon Harken 150 cam cleat order. I got the aluminum cams 😎

Loads of great info and experience here. Thanks for the tips. Really appreciated!

MN3, What boat do you have? I was curious about the performance of the new spinlock alloy brakes.

I like the mast placement idea, and I know at least one person on this site has done it without any damage to the mast. Is it OK to use a stainless po...

Lots of great information. For simplicity.... I've never tapered a line before, I am going with this for my spin halyard for my midpole Nacra 20.... 8...

Thank you Phillip and MN3 for the great information. What's the best technique to avoid buying holes? Most of my sailing now is just having fun, not t...

I can confirm that the infusion crossbars fit the I20.

My I20 (2006) had a 1x1 inch square compression post around the dolphin striker bar. The dolphin striker bar hole was not drilled straight up and down...

I agree with previous posts as well. $1500 can buy an old boat that is in perfect working order with updated lines, etc.

I dunno.... The first thing I noticed was that the mast rotator was on backwards....

I'd pass, especially given the wavy hulls...

Ha! I need that extra I20 boom from the boat mentioned above. I karate chopped mine on the last day of last year's sailing season!

That's a great system. When I right my boat, I grab the dolphin striker to keep it from going back over, then quickly go around to the side of the boa...

I've bought a few sailboats, and always wish I had spent more time checking out what I was buying before pulling the trigger. It seems like they all h...

I like the idea of installing an inspection port in the correct location (Thanks P.M.) to see what is going on and to dry out the area. I also like th...

Thanks samc99us for your reply and great info! I really appreciate it! Not sure about the blades and the trailer is aluminum. You gave me a good sense...

Thanks for the great responses. I went out solo in 8 kts the other day and had the downhaul reasonably cranked, outhaul pulled in all the way, mast ro...

I owned a G-Cat 5.7 for a few years and loved it. Reasonably fast boat without boards but not too easily overpowered when solo sailing. Good with weig...
