A couple of things to keep in mind:
"Use woven fiberglass cloth, not mat"

Re: Head stay questions
003 SC19 pig tail.jpg Matt, thanks for the reply, Pretty much as I thought. The pig tail is in fact 1x19. I just recently experienced a dismasting,trapped out at speed, on a buddy's 19 when the pigtail parted at the nicopress. This prompted me to look closely at my rigging. Does the 7x19 head stay ...

Head stay questions
The head stay on my SC15 is 7x19 SS wire rope not 1x19. Is this an issue?
When I tension the down haul on my jib I can slack the head stay. Is this an issue?

Re: Supercat 17 footage from drone
That square top is a new sail, not a re cut, correct?

Bill, am I on the right track here with the sail. Granted this is a rough take.
I am trying to break myself of the habit of sitting aft
By knuckle do you mean the top of the top stripe?

Re: Square Top vs Pin Head
Bill, my sail appears to be original equipment. The sail, however was the good news of this rescue cat. Except for a shabby head board (replaced) and an improperly riveted clew plate(brass to stainless, refastened w/ stainless) and the battens being totally wrapped in black electrical tape (removed,...

Re: Square Top vs Pin Head
Copy that, Bill. This has off season written all over it. Does that top batten need to be more robust than the stock '84 vintage round fiberglass ones I'm currently using. I know the top battens will have to be longer.

Re: Square Top vs Pin Head
Thanks Bill, in this instance I would not shorten the foot, just add area at the top?

Re: Square Top vs Pin Head
So Bill, would it be practical to take the Dacron pintop on my '84 SC15 and have it re cut to a square top? Would the luff remain the same dimension while the foot was shortened? Or, would more material be added at the top while maintaining the original length of the foot?

Re: Square Top vs Pin Head
If I read Bill correctly, the only cure is (more cowbell) an increased chord length at the top of the sail. The airflow needs more surface area to direct it aft and off to leeward instead of over the leech and down the leeward side of the sail.

Re: Looking for help on a telescoping trailer
I'm thinking rubber rollers mounted over and under on some Uni Strut. Two sets forward, two sets aft. One set on center line, one set outboard. Box tube trapped in between with hull cradles on the outboard end. A trailer tongue jack on the outboard end of each box tube. This would all be readily ava...
