+1 on calling Tom at Aquarius If you have any reservations on doing your own or having custom made. Have gotten 2 sets from Aquarius for my SC15 over ...

The Getaway is a great family boat

A year or more ago, there was a thread that talked about rowing a cat. I think it was centered around a cat sailor in the pacific NW who was doing lon...

+1 on the redneck comment about PVC. Might as well hook a yard rake handle up instead 🙂 I tried the fiberglass paint sticks as well and I still re...

Awesome Thanks for the quick and complete response

All Revisiting this original thread. For some reason, I cannot see the images anywhere in this thread. Looking for image(s) of the bungee setup to kee...

But that post moved me up to a mate, so worth the embarrassment

I stand corrected. Too much typing without checking. Operator failure

Look, we all know we have our personal preferences, like I said, I don't mind the wet part of it. To the point of raising the mast singlehandedly, I ...

I haven't owned a P18, so just addressing the Supercat 17. Very hard to pitchpole as the bows are very buoyant. Yes, the mast is heavy, but if you ar...

On the old boats, I don't bother with much of this, as pretty doesn't matter on them, just function. But just to add in a point about the appliance ...

Very nice looking

Ditto on one of my favorite knots being the truckers hitch. Learned it from brother in law, who was former trucker and couldn't believe I went 30 year...

Damon, I use the aluminum ball mounts and have had not one issue. Yes, a bit pricey, but it always looks good, instead of the rusty steel or chrome pl...

No direct experience with Nacra masts on this topic, but have experienced a difference with other masts of similar age to each other and built "identi...

Just my 2 cents Both my motorboat and my cat trailer have bearing buddies. Cat has 8" rims and motorboat 12". I check them and repack them every seaso...

Must have been another topic, but weighed in on this recently. My suggestion was also to use dowel or pencil with rag on the mast track only. I use dr...

So I used hydro turf to wrap deck around cockpit on a Sunfish. A large piece with a very curvilinear shape. Made a poster board pattern to be able to ...

I agree with Andinista. I see no real value in a tilt trailer for my cat. Maybe I don't launch in the needed conditions, but with beach wheels availab...

I use two sets all the time on my Supercat 15. I set them under the front and rear beam and tie them off to keep them in place. Literally tie ends off...

Not familiar with your exact boat, firsthand, but the rubber tensioner on the side of the daggerboard port is supposed to provide tension. I do have e...

I have to weigh in to keep the Supercat sailors thirst quenched here. I love the Supercat 15. Easily takes two when needed and easy to single hand. Do...

One other thing. I have two OEM sails for my supercat and one slides easily up the track and the other is a bear to raise. The difference is in the bo...

Try cleaning out the mast tracks first. Take a cleaner that is high alcohol content, so it will evaporate quickly after application, and not stain the...

On iPad and both worked for me, Damon

I tried to talk SLO into blue, but they were pretty adamant. I had a blue from them that lasted 8 seasons and still was pretty good but they must have...

So I just installed a new tramp on the Supercat. Very happy with it, but sad that I had to go with black as SLO wouldn't warranty blue, the color it w...

Happy to help out Send me a PM with length needed and shipping address. All you have to do is pay the shipping. UPS or USPS shouldn't be much. We can ...
