Let me ask you this, is your mainsail connected to the boom, does the tack (bottom) of the sail slide up a groove on the boom like on the Hobie 16? If...

LOL, the asking price was "best offer"? I picked up mine for $600, gas was about $200 and a new tramp was just over $300. Will check out the trailer t...

Hey Matt, I acquired a P18 recently, looking at your pics I noticed that your rudders have the very same problem as mine, where the up-haul line conne...
