Re: Supercat 17 damage on the top of the hull
https://owners.aquarius-sail.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=622 I had a similar problem. The PO had dropped the mast on the port hull up forward. It resulted in the glass delaminating there at the top seam. I dried it out and re attached it. It has held since. The glass from the two halves laps...

Thanks for the reply. I figured as much. I had finally gotten her shiney enough to notice.

Compression dings in hulls
In the course of cleaning and polishing the hulls I noticed a compression ding on the outboard side of the port hull up forward where I think the bulkhead is. It's rectangular in shape and vertically oriented. I've tried getting a picture but it doesn't read on camera. Is this a structural problem o...

Re: Is It Too Windy?
In those conditions you would have been well served to furl the jib.

Re: 19 tramp install pain
Have you tried immersing the tramp in hot water?

Re: 19 tramp install pain
I like the vinegar as a cleaning agent. Perhaps take a drift pin and tap it into the feed end of the track.

Re: 19 tramp install pain
I like running a bit of Scotch Brite pad dipped in white vinegar through the tracks. Consider soaking the tramp in hot water. Lube the tracks with soap.

Re: Roller furling jib line tie off where??
I have a snorkel. Definitely tie off around the jib. I've never had a problem with a plastic jam cleat getting rope burn. They don't chafe the line, they're light. inexpensive, and don't hurt near as much if you get thrown onto one. That's why they exist. That's why I use them where I see fit.

Re: Roller furling jib line tie off where??
My cleat is a plastic jam cleat out at the front corner of the tramp. I put one on each side just cause I was into it that day. A lot of boats have a cleat on the front crossbar. I wouldn't recommend one on the mast. There's enough going on there already and mast rotation might give you a problem.

Re: Supercat 17 Purchase Advice Needed
Looks clean, a little on the pricey side. 3k is where you want to be after you've bought all that gear from Tom that the boat is going to need.
The inspection ports in the transoms indicate that the gudgeons needed re bolting at some point.
