IMHO, SLS was in over their head and couldn't keep up to the demand for product and parts. This is just my opinion from what I have heard and observe...

For those of us who "do care" about our sails, the answer is simply YES. 😉

Well there ya go! That's a really old boat!

Front beam slot, IYE gold beams, IYE rudder gudgeons. Plus, I sailed with them in the mid-late 70s. Where do you think the center tube idea came fro...

1970s Condor, British boat. They were fairly quick!

It would be helpful if you could provide a pic or two!

Per your requirements (non board, preferably light boat), the 5.0 will be lighter and a more modern hull shape. You could have a slightly larger main...

If you sail predominately in salt water then yes you should rinse every time, even with dacron. Those little salt crystals really tear things up when...

The Nacra F17 (singlehanded) with the carbon mast will be the absolute easiest mast to set up. Awesome boat to sail 1 or 2 up. Bows are super forgiv...

Gulf Islands National Seashore Park on Okaloosa Island. This is where the public goes to launch and sail on Choctawhatchee Bay. Carl Gray Park in ...

Merry Christmas everyone!!! 😉

Layla, Let the haters go! I sail a Wave and it's a hoot! In fact, I have 2 of them!!! On the FWC site I have posted the HOBIE WAVE Tuning Guide. G...

If you have your heart set on a H14, contact Jason Sanchez in St Pete, FL. I believe he has 3-4 good ones for sale at this time.

SCHURR Sails in Pensacola.

CRADLES then add the T Handle post. Never need lines again! 😉

I hope someone calls the seller out. Ashby A Class sail. How about the fact it has no boom!! What a total scam.

I like the old one better. Roots. 😉

Like others have already pointed out, a good barrier coat will keep the water absorption to a minimum. Gelcoat is porous and is not good by itself le...

It's really easy. Simply take the top castings off the rudders leaving the tiller crossbar connected. Now the rudders can be taken off the transoms....

Take off your rudders people! You are exerting a lot more force on the transoms due to windage. When I trailered boats backwards, the rudders came o...

If these worked, every H16 would have them on the bows. Learn to sail the boat without those meat slicers. Adding more aft mast rake helps in this d...

WOW Dude! Just finished this read. Unreal scenario and you are VERY lucky. World Sailing has mandated that all trapeze harnesses be fitted with a qu...

What Mike said. It's much more precise and revealing.

I have a Kinder blue Sunbrella cover for my A cat. After 12 years, it is still going strong. You definitely get what you pay for.
