Aquarius Sail Owners

whats the minimum crew weight for the SC17? i am going to be sailing solo with just the main sail down at Spring Fever!!!! so tring to figure out the portsmouth number.... and i need to figure out the underweight penalty.....

So does anyone have any extra plugs lieing around for cheap???? lol..... might be nice when pleasure sailing.... guess i could make some pretty easy since they wouldn't have to be made really stong...

i'd really like to see pictures of other SC19's ... but i'm also looking to upgrade to a selftacking jib and spinnaker... so if anyone has detailed pics of their set up that would be great too....

well i'm a big supporter of the SC 19... although i havn't had much time on my boat (issues arise lol) i have raced against F18 in distance races and if i had a spinnaker i believe i would keep up... i did well against F18s up wind and actually outpointed them... just lost them on the down wind leg....

is anymoe doing any work to their boats over the winter? if so what? i myself still have to fix the starboard hull re gel and pollish the hulls out....

what happened to the previous SC17 you were looking at? is it located near you? was it at a good deal considering the mast and all?

excellent work..... thank goodness i don't have to do that much work.... looking forward to the final outcome!!!!

cheers

when i bought the boat the hulls were in great shape besides a few small holes so i filled those and faired them out.... then i boat 2 gallons of gelcoat.... and sprayed about 4 coats on each hull... mind you i sanded the whole hulls down with 320 grit before spraying.... after spraying and drying i...

i just finished redoing the hulls on a 17 got it down on teh beach and she looks great..... on her first sail in almost 7 years after sitting in this guys back yard in LA. i raced her with a friend at the Version 2.5 (old low rent) and came in 2nd place overall and 3rd boat back to the beach..... be...

hey i just bought a new cross bar from Aquarius and it only cost me around 100.00... not bad if you ask me..... I sail with between 1/8 to 1/4 inch of toe in... also if you have slop in your rudders that also puts strain on the helm so add shims, make sure those lines are good and not falling apart....

is there a difference in height between the 17 and 19's mast?

so after a tropical storm early this winter my boat flipped forward off a friends dock and the mast hit the bulk head breaking the upper part of the forstay (slight dent too) and then as it was still tied to the dock (up front) then proceeded to wedge itself upside down under the black floats of the...
