Simpler system for the jib sheet and blocks or barberhauler?

Yep, the barberhauler on a P18 should have a cheek block very close the ends of the front crossbar, with a V cleat closer to the center. You run a si...

My P18 seemed impossible to lock when I first got it. It did not have a twist shackle, though, and once I switched them out it became tons easier. R...

Probably need to share more details on this. What kind of boat is it? Do you have diamond wires?

/agreed Tighten the forestay and shrouds as tight as they can be without hindering rotation at all.

Where do cats sail around Dallas? I'll be there for a bit soon and wouldn't mind seeing the local 'beach cat' community.

The default P18 setup should have a cheek block on each side of the mast, and a cam cleat below the cheek block on the port side. Tie a 3/16" line ...

Well this is what I did. I sanded the transom down smooth. Then I filled the crack w/ some marine putty/epoxy, and sanded it down smooth. Then I to...

Well, for me anyway, the style of the Nacra system seems like an easy fix for the Prindle. I think 6 drilled holes and two hinged cleats would do it....

Perfect, thanks. I bet I can rig that up just like it was stock. Quarath wrote: Not sure if mine is stock or not but it like the one on the bottom o...

Did you do this? I've been looking at modifying my P18s to work like the Nacras. A cam cleat seams much easier and more reliable than the little hoo...
