So I had decided to reinforce the transoms on my SC-20, as they were both looking a little weak with some stress cracks. One transom had been replaced once already, the other was original. I ended up grinding out the old sealant around most of the older transom, and filling it with epoxy-glass. Seem...

Is that anything like Brazilian Cut?? Not sure I want to see that.

Dave and others. Nah, no problem tacking the boat, for racing around cans here the bigger problem is the courses are so short, that really the start is the big thing. Given that I don't really feel like impaling multiple laser sailors with the spin pole, I've mostly given up racing the SC20 on short...

I was wondering if anyone has any experience roll tacking a wide beamed catamaran? I used to do it on my Hobie 16, but it really needed. But I am curious if anyone has worked on this for getting through tacks faster on a SC 20? The boat has no problem coming around, but when racing on short courses ...

The picture does help. So the glass the deck plate is mounted to does not run continuously beneath the plate? In other words, if the deck plate came off, there would be a large hole in the top of the hull? The deck plate does pull away from the glass a little. But It is not enough to slip a knife in...

Oh yea, the deck does move a little, not much, slightly more than the other hull. I guess i am trying to determine whether it would be worth cutting out the deck plate section that is delaminated, and redoing that, or is structurally, an easier fix will do.

Kevin, thanks, it should be, won't take long to do the work. One afternoon to lay the glass, another to sand and lay gel coat. Mostly depends on the weather. Today is not looking good, but the rest of the week looks fine. Wind forecast for the weekend is light, but still several days out, changes so...

here are a couple pictures of the damage

So the SC 20 survived a mini-tornado, but ended up with a couple pressure cracks on the starboard hull deck, just forward of the rear crossbeam. I have some pictures I will post soon. I sanded down the gel coat to get a better look, and the deck plate has delaminated from the underlying glass right ...

I race thursday nights with a small boat group, try to make it every thursday, but usually miss one a month or so. Then I usually try to make it out at least one day other than that a week, if the weather and wind looks good. I keep the boat on a beach with the mast up, so to get her out, simply hav...

So wouldn't you know it, after getting a great picture of the boat, and getting real jazzed about summer, the beach where I keep the boat was it with a mini tornado!!! The boat came out of it in relatively good shape, some cracks in the gel coat I need to examine further, on the deck near the stern,...

SuperFly on the water in her glory. I love this boat!

Kevin, I am about an hour south of Annapolis, in Solomons. Yea, be happy to take you out. From my first experience with the spin it sailed great. A buddy of mine was out on racing big boats on the same night we were out, and said basically the supercat from far away was moving like a windsurfer on h...

It is a long story but I now have Dave Farmer's former Supercat (now on Chesapeake Bay), and finally got her out in some nice wind 8-10knots, and had an ear to ear grin the whole time. Such a different feel than my old hobie 16. We got the chute up, and the boat felt great. I have limited experience...

Kevin, Looks great. After painting my hobie 16 last year, I was not pleased with the results for a while. When your face is 6 inches from the boat for several months, it's hard not to see every minor thing. Truth is virtually no one will notice any slight imperfections. I love the shark heads on the...
