Aquarius Sail Owners

I think it is called Hydroturf.com All kinds of variety of paterns and colors. Order it with the 3M adhesive. Works great! Does well in use also.

here's another pic. I flipped her to see how difficult it was to right plus my 13 year old son wanted to so... I did bend the boom a bit but she rights prety easy with 2 of us.

Finally let my Hobie Tiger sit for a day and took the SuperCat 17 out for her maiden sail after the refit. She sailed great. Really nice manners and the square top got her to fly a hull with 3 on board and 10 mph winds with some puffs. Nice boat.

If you need any pictures or information feel free to email me. It was a real easy job.

Matt,
Would it match the same holes or how would it secure?

I need a second tang. I have the old single and there are screws from a second tang at some point. Any idea on this? Or, is it OK to have all the rigging and traps on one ring?

Just thought I would share the moment and show a picture of my re-do. I redid the transoms, repainted with emron 2 part epoxy with 2 part primer then added diamond cut EVA hydrafoam to the caps. New rigging and a squaretop Pentex sail will be ready Friday.

How long are they? I need to make some butI want them to be Dyneema.

Easier with a jib. Without you have to really think it thru. You need to make sure you have some speed and go real easy with the tiller. You have to stay steady and ease the tiller or the rudders will stall the boat. Do not take your hand off. Additionally you need to use your weight to help pitch t...

I just re did the transoms on mine. THe port is BY FAR the best way to do it. THe material is very thin and we matted the outside and used 4" tape around the corners on the inside. We also replaced the metal support bars and glassed them in. The port is easy. Cut them in the top and when you cu...

New idea for the traveler? I am considering taking the track and laying it over a 1"x .25" x 8' aluminum bar stock. Using the mounting points as a template and drilling and threading the bar stock. Then drilling the tube the same way without the threading. If I attach the ends the rest of ...

There's one of the 20's here in Houston that sails Galveston now and again. It has been restored very niely but it is a Beast and is a job to set up. If you are looking to have a cat to set up and sail for a few days it would be nice but its a lot of work for a day sailer.

The 20 is a tank. Not a cat to day sail too much. What is the beam?
Where is it on auction?

I haven't looked for the track yet but the eyes sound like a good idea and they would most likely allow me to use the current tramp with some enhancements. What would you think... 4" centers for the number of eyes??

The more I lok at this the more I come back to the idea of installing another rope track to the rear cross bar. That would have a rope track on both sides and the rear. Then I could tention from the front bar. What are your thoughts on this? Is that rear track strong enough riveted to the rear beam?...
