Bias cut only requires you to tighten along one axis, usually across the rear of the tramp. Regular cut has to be tightened along two axis, along the...

The pics posted above are correct. When raising the jib, go up all the way and the SLOWLY lower the jib to let the S hook hang and catch the ring. S...

Bob, that was from the 2012 Dash, the 4th leg of the Great Texas 300. We were working our way out thru the surf. First time away from the lake for m...

If you want to fly hulls (which is a main reason people get a cat), forget the getaway. It will bury the leeward bows when you power it up. The hull...

Done Damon, BTW, DFW is international, not just Texan.

Mainsheet is the gas pedal, downhaul is the transmission.

Just fix what's broke. Maybe a strip of glass along the bottom to handle any future beach wear.

Thanks guys, I'll show him this thread and let him contact y'all.

A buddy of mine picked it up yesterday. It's a 5.2. Needs rudders, boards, sails, lots. Hull has some soft spots or maybe just rash from the traile...

10-15. More than 20 becomes lots of work. Less than 10 is time for floating and drinking beer.

Hey Jeremy, Come out to Grapevine this Saturday. We'll help you set it up. We might have 2 other folks from thebeachcats out there. I think most of...

Ernie, That finish was fun. I was working my butt off releasing and hauling the sheet in in order to keep the hull up and pass y'all. I was out of b...

The 5.8 was good for the price when I looked at it. You'll enjoy the boat. You can sand the marinetex down with a power sander. Look for any cracks...

Hey Jeremy, Is that the 5.8 from Belton? Old retired guy? I looked at that a couple years ago. Come out to Grapevine lake. Scotts Landing Marina ...

I've tried a variety. Here is one with the camera mounted on the inside bow with the suction cup mount: Gives good view of hull flying and both the ...

And the Dash will run on Saturday, an hour before the GT300 racers take off. The Dash is a race within the GT300, consisting of just the last, 40 m...

I also like the zhik. I'm not worried about legality. But you could always throw a couple of the cheap orange block vests into the hulls so that the...

When I was looking for new sails for my Prindle 19, I emailed Chip at Whirlwind. He replied promptly and answered all my questions. Very pleasant ex...

I did their university many years ago when I had a Getaway. I think we had over 20 people. I haven't done much with fleet 23 since I traded the Geta...

Also getting new sails. For my P19. Local sailloft (mariner-sails) is thrilled that they get to build something cool instead of typical white mon...
