Where are you?

I think I've got an extra set of 5.2 sails and daggers as well.

Inter rudder blades are definitely smaller than P18.2/19 rudders.

Ahh, yes, the steering. Good point. Almost insane how responsive it is.

I've sailed that one that was listed in Texas. A friend of mine (member of our cat sailing community here in OKC, can't remember her name on these fo...

don't remember exactly, but it sounds right except that the pigtail and forestay should be also swaged together. That way the ring moves up and down ...

Or this: . , !

Skip had one on his site for months (maybe 6?) for $1195.

Gotta be a 6.0, right?

What I did for a buddy was use a stopper knot attached to the jib clew./blockquote> That's pretty neat. I'm going to have to implement a few of thos...

Hobie 18 is cheap, durable, and buoyant. I doubt a wildcat fits your needs, although it is certainly a sexy boat (i've not sailed one.) A supercat 2...

WHA?? now it's the new pic.

I bet I've been through 5 laptops/hard drives since I last uploaded an avatar. I seriously doubt it's a caching issue. After uploading the new one, ...

I uploaded a new avatar, and it said, "Congrats, here's your old avatar back!' Uhh..

I was too lazy to put the strikeouts on the old boats when I put on the sig..I figured the 'pile' was more accurate anyway.

I don't have a picture on hand (can get one if necessary) but if you luggage tag a line, at its midway point, to a snap shackle, you can then snap the...

Congrats on the b /b tags. I couldn't care less what you call the springs. I've owned a Prindle, and I know that pulling both lines to raise a prope...

I added a sig after I noticed it. I did notice it on someone else...maybe Andrew? Don't remember for sure who it was. I'll add a pic one of these d...

I lost my cool avatar and sig at some point.. Any idea what happened? DamonLinkous wrote: I picked up a 1980, new to me Prindle 16. ... Jared Welcom...

Pull the down line and hold tension on it, before pulling the up line. This will compress the spring a bit more than pulling the up line alone, and a...

Hah, I'm going to assume I've gotten lucky so far then. And I'm never going to mention it again..

Agreed.

Friction is all it take...the boat just rests on the cradles. You can tie them to the shrouds if necessary, but I haven't needed to.

Shouldn't there also be 4 x Harken 2625 (single ratchmatic, ~$85 apiece) on that list?

175 is plenty heavy for a 16 footer.

You don't want to prevent it, but going downwind, if you're traveled out, you may want to force it to rotate more. Being traveled out and sheeted in ...

How cheap could it be to compete in a 'world' level event in any sport? Boats in general are an expensive hobby, but competing in the F18 world champ...

If its nuking and you're in survival mode to get home, you'd be fine two sailing it without the kite, as long as you kept it deep, and STILL didn't tr...

DDW isn't relevant to sailing anything in that realm. I'm with Damon and that thing is the beast to have...however, word on my street is that it's ha...
