Re: Outboard on ARC 21?

We have done it a few times on the 22. I searched the forums and didn't find any photos. If you contact Tom he will have some information on what was done in the past.

Re: Plugs for the hulls ARC 21

I don't think the drain plug threads match a recognized standard and are likely unique to each manufacturer. The plug on all ARC, RC & SuperCat products has always been a Ronstan product. If you cannot find them locally, we have them and can ship to you. Please email sales@aquarius-sail.com or c...

Re: Does anyone (else) have a telescoping 20 that they actually telescope?

Jonathan, Your attachment point for pulling the gin pole to raise the mast must be on the centerline of the boat or you are going to have issues. On the 22 we have a bridle attached to the beach wheel axle. We place the beach wheels under the bows of the boat and secure them with a piece of rope to ...

Re: Does anyone (else) have a telescoping 20 that they actually telescope?

Jonathan, It has been a long, long time since I put together a telescoping 20 but we always did the telescoping in the water. Floated the boat off the trailer in the collapsed configuration and then once it was floating we pulled it apart, and put the beam bolts and dolphin striker sleeve in the fro...

Re: Loos gauge SC17

Hello, The rig on the SC17 is typically pretty loose and never really found a use for the loos type gage on that rig.. Here are the recommendations for a starting point: Mast should have 5 degrees of rake relative to the deck of the hull. YOu can use angle finder from the local home improvement stor...

Re: It's almost embarrassing to ask this question...

First off I would be very careful removing or disconnecting the tiller crossbar. Years ago I rolled the 22 over and after we got it back up my crew undid one end of the tiller crossbar to get back on. This resulted in the two rudders acting independently, causing the boat head down wind at an extrem...

Re: Rig heights

Mike,
The SC-18 used the same mast rig was the SC19XL. Don't recall the for measurements of the top of my head, I'll have to check.

Re: Rig heights

JupCat,
Tornado mast is only like 29' or 30' long at the most so I don't think that is from a Tornado either.
I saw your pictures on Beachcats and I do not recognize that mast step/base. Definitely not from a SC, Tornado, Nacra, Prindle, or Hobie.. don't think it is from G-Cat either...

Re: Rig heights

Hi JupCat, It was not a Tornado rig, the 38'6" Rig is from either the SC-20 Tall-Rig or the ARC-22. You stated it was a single spreader, I am assuming there are outer and inner diamond wires on those spreaders? Assuming this is the case, then it was an ARC-22 mast. However there were also a han...

Re: Rudder Serial Numbers

Posey Sailmakers (Blank White logo on Sail 812) was the original sailmaker for Bill Roberts and Boston Whaler. We continued to use Posey as our primary vendor until Dave's retirement in the late 1990's, or maybe even early 2000's. I suspect the Pattison sail was from when Erickson Yachts built the b...

Re: Rudder Serial Numbers

The Boston Whaler sticker and the rudder castings and gudgeons on your boat indicate it was built by Boston Whaler, probably in 1982 or there about. The visible seam line on the hulls was something that was done all the way up into the early 1990's, so you are probably right that someone sanded it o...

Re: Rudder Serial Numbers

It's quite possible that your rudders were replaced....

Photos of transom, rudder castings, hulls, mast base, etc. Anything you have might be useful.

Re: Rudder Serial Numbers

That rudder is a 2004 vintage, fiberglass laminate. Share some pictures of the boat and I can probably give you an idea of what year the boat is as well.

Re: Sc20 Telescoping trailer

I'm familiar with the Trailex version which I believe is probably based on the the one you have.

What specific questions do you have?
