Re: Last sail of the season

Good form, this from someone who can’t yet trap out solo. Do you know your top speeds? Solo, crewed. My SC17 with 37 yr old sails is 14.5kts solo 17.3 crewed.

Beam end cap quick disconnect idea needed

I’ve already replaced rivets with 6-32 machine screws but need a better idea. My 8’ stick it pole is going in there for sandbar anchoring duties.

Roller furling jib line tie off where??

Where to tie off furler? Add cleat to mast? Seems important to keep on centerline of boat?? This 1982 SC17 has a furler but no cleat.

Re: Possible new SuperCat owner

I just bought #495, 1982. Sail # is in HIN. Same colors as yours. $700 barn find. Dirty and stained but solid with a new tramp. Got about 3 hours unirigged before I took it down to sand/polish hulls. This is no P16 or H16!!
