It is too big for a 17 sail. My boom is 8'0"

I used rustoleum spray paint in a pinch. Held up fine for 4 years. Still looked good when the boat was sold.

Found just the boat for you. I'm sweet on the H17.

At 60 I'll second the wings. Great backrest combined with a pfd long enough to cover the bit resting against the bar. Sitting on the wing is much mo...

I used citristrip on a previous boat. Found putting it on late evening gave it all night to work without drying out. Blasted it off with a pressure ...

I couldn't see much wear on my cams but was having lockdown problems too. Replacing them solved the problem. Remove the rudders and see if you can i...

Just happen to be replacing the zipper on mine today. Luff 198" Leach 187" measured to top corner of clew plate Foot 61" measured to front corner o...

That is pretty small diameter tubing. I'd be tempted to have new ones made of stainless. The wing tubes on my hobie are 2 inch od.

If you aren't set on a specific area check out lake waccamaw. Very quiet, little used lake with some vacation rental houses

It's made by the same company that makes the isotope.

After you drill the first hole put a bolt thru both pieces so the space between the holes will be correct even if you are a bit off on exactly where t...

I just finished a pair of wood rudders for my H17. Kind of an experiment to see how they do. Cost $20 for a suitable size piece of sapele which is d...

Free P16 Guessing some of these battens might work. [url]

I have some from a H 17 that could be cut down. They are currently 87 and 94 inches with caps. Find myself with 2 extra sets of battens at the momen...

Don't know how well it protects but I restored a jib window that was off color and very stiff after being left wrapped around the stay for 15 years in...

Haven't used the 2 part. Have used epifane varnish. Still looks new after 2 years in the weather.

There are no marks on my '98 h17 castings. They do point inward. Looks like they would fit on either side otherwise.

In my limited experience cats are far more stable and forgiving than some monohulls. I've had my H17 out in conditions I would never have considered...

Irma is currently stronger than Andrew ever was. I've stayed put through many hurricanes since '83 here in Wilmington, NC. However the plan for a ca...
