I was trying to remember exactly what I bought for my H14t. I'm sorry I can't, but non-stretch is what your going after.

sailinagin, Glad your out and getting back into it. From reading your posts and the questions you ask - your way ahead of the curve man. Enjoy yo...

I love Getaways...They are the ultimate for "Family" fun on a cat. Anything that gets people on the water and in the sport...Kudos to Ketterman!

Sounds great to me! Everyone WEARING a pfd, staying with the boat, calm and collected...I'll take it!

I have a Hobie Box. Never used...ever. There's the specs. PM if interested.

Love the vid. The only time I've ever got blown over was on Somerville!

Funny, I saw three of these(new)on the back of a pickup heading West out of Houston. The truck had Louisiana plates...I thought it odd.

just remember "people" are neutrally bouyant as we are mostly water...fiberglass and aluminum - not so much. Just things to ponder. Let me know what...

Well NMMA requires 10% of "capacity" of a hull to be in flotation. I dont think that's the aim on this though. Pfd's would cover occupants and the ba...

HA! At 7 bucks a tube - Wally world looks like a better alternative. The pool noodles are about 3" dia, so it should have enough room to bend and ge...

I wish it were there right now! This weekend is San Antonio for a show...It just seems to go on and on. Glad your able to hit the water. I'm afraid ...

Btw, last I saw you just had a pinhole leak left. All good now?

yep. I was thinking of air bladders (actually what I was looking for on the net) but after thinking about it, if its a catastrophic event, whats to k...

Thats pretty cool. Looks like a great way to dial in a boat...or its captian.

Ha! Craigslist has everything I guess...but Walmart is cheaper 🙂 edited by: turtlecat, Aug 10, 2010 - 07:43 PM

I like the pool noodle idea. $1 each at Walmart. no issue with fit, and easy to replace after a season to keep things from getting "icky".

I 2nd the Getaway idea. 1000 lbs capacity, hulls that take punishment, and a "bob" so when those boys take it for a spin without dad...it ads a level...

Weta is an awesome go fast boat that is easy to assemble. The mast is something like 9 lbs, and from what I've seen here in TX they dont come with a ...

I've got two singles and one tandem. If your looking for payload, Id go the tandem route. But even the singles are under-rated it seems with payload...

Hey SteveOn, I know your on Canyon(or Hill Country)but if you ever have a weekend where you want to hit some salt water, these guys are a great bun...

just a thought... Not sure if you do more than sail, but IF you do, look at the Hobie Adventure Islands. Not as fast as a true beach cat, but more...

Ill be in Salt Lake all next week. But I just saw that I have that weekend free (7 & 8th)...unbelievable! Ill be watching the FB page to see what ge...

Culley when you bringing that 6.0 out to Surfside 10 Mile spot? I have many questions for you about my 5.5sl the 6.0's little sister. Dude, you ca...

You know, I just today dismantled my poor '82 H14T. It had been struck by a tree that had been hit by lightning. All my rigging was still original :...

Hey Turbo, I also was at Milford resevoir (Junction City KS)for a day before heading up and over to Kearney Ne. That was some big water for that area...

Turbo I was astounded at the number of sailboats on Carlyle...I asked why the yacht club was doing so well, and the answer was, "its the most water in...

Yeah I could see that, but man the beauty of it would be worth a fluky day of sailing...The other place I was thinking of the last time I drove thru y...
