Re: Future Supercat 17 owner, Poplar Grove IL
Although I do not have that model I am pretty sure it was supposed to be an aluminum tube. Not too had to get a replacement.
Were you able to remove the bolts? I would think the half moon spacers will still work.
Is that and RV kit?

Re: RIP Bill Roberts
That's shocking and sad to hear. Although I never met him personally we did correspond while fixing up my SC20. He was a wealth of knowledge and unfortunately his corporate knowledge is gone forever. He did offer to take me out on his ARC 30 if I was in his area. I am sorry I was never able to get t...

Re: Newbies trapezing
I find new people are hesitant to trap but when they get out they love it. Then they want me to take videos of them while I’m sailing the boat.
Then it turns into a boondoggle.

Re: Damage to upper leading edge of rudders?
It is easy enough to take the rudder apart. By doing that you get to see the size of the pivot hole. You also get to see the width of the notch that the roller goes into. This should give you all the information you need to figure out what is wrong.

Re: Damage to upper leading edge of rudders?
Can you send pictures of the slot with the roller in? What is the diameter of the rollers? I believe they should be 3/4" Maybe you could install a larger diameter roller.

Re: Rudder Mods
I’m repainting the tips of my rudders and decided to clean up the castings a little. One thing I did was sand and smooth the roller tracks. I sanded the outer bearing surfaces that the plastic washers slide up and down. I also sanded the slots where the plastic threaded rod slides up and down. This ...

Re: Kevlar fabric tape on keels
I bring an anchor and try to leave it in the water if I can. Depending on the wind. Bill is right about sanding. When I was repairing the beam saddles on my 20 I came across Kevlar in that area. At first I didn't know what it was but figured it out. It does fuzz up when sanding. It also has a proble...

Re: Pre-Bend
Bill, This is the first time I have ever read an explanation like that. The Supercat was the first catamaran I bought, so I wasn't exposed to any other information from other boats. The SC has taught me a lot bout sailing. I look back at some of the racing I did in college and I see I had no clue to...

Re: Pre-Bend
Hey Bill, Thanks for explaining prebend. I and many others didn't understand that. I was thought it was for flattening the sail to take the power out of a sail. I wish (and maybe it does exist) this website had the ability to tell people when there are new posts. I have been quite busy lately and ha...

Re: Spinnaker Theory
Rich,
Thanks for the information. Sounds like it was an exciting race.
I've ordered a TDF from Tom and look forward to getting it. One of these days I would love to get a ride on a 27 or 30. I wish one would fit in at my club.
Thanks,
Kevin
