Aquarius Sail Owners

Rich, What are you getting at? Do you think if we win more races, that will sell more boats and increase our numbers? History: The SC20 won the Mug Race several times. How many 20s are at the Rudder Club and how many were there ever? The SC20 won the Miami to Key largo Race many many times. How man...

Ok Thanks, and Have a Happy New Year.

Bruiser, Did you get a set of the stiffer rudder springs from Tom yet???? April and May races are coming fast! We had some in the trailer. However we did get our new tramp from Tom. It is designed for the 2 aluminum poles down the center. That should about bring this boat up to the others. Looking ...

No question that is looking great.

Interesting stuff. Bill do have any info comparing the sail plans of the F 18 (mast height, main sail spin) verses SC 17 or ARC 22. I am curious even how they compare to older Hobie 20's 18's etc. I am guessing they are getting their increased performance out of sail to horsepower ratios rather than...

New Years Resolution...Have an RC, ARC or Super Cat win all of the events next year. :D So far, since the summer of 2013 The Around the Island Race - won by a RC 27, the Buzzelli Regatta won by RC 30, now the Steeplechase won by an ARC 22. Next up Miami to Key Largo, then Mug Race etc. Let's keep th...

Congrates to Eric and Dave. Looks like a great year weather wise. Here is the article in Catsailor which has some more pictures of the slow boats. :lol: http://www.catsailor.com/Steeplechase/Steeple13Story.html Bill, did you say they sailed with the smaller sails on Sunday too? It sounded like the f...

So tell me about this Ft Walton race, assuming its on next year, I might be interested. This is the Around the Island Race. Start at Ft Walton Yacht Club, race into the gulf to Pensacola and then back to Ft Walton in the ditch. It is about a 100 mile race. There was talk of moving this race back to...

Rich, The Ft Walton race seems to have dried up. Less than 10 boats last year. We need another location. In the summer where would the MN boats like to race? Any suggestions in Savanaha or Va? Bill, I thought it might be worth another try. Mike K had his ARC22 ready to go, but bailed because of the...

Do you happen to know the date of the Mug Race? Do you need any kind of ground crew? I'm assuming you don't start and stop at the same place. I should have my 20 done by early spring, might hit this one. Mug Race is May 3rd, 2014. The logistics are arranged by the Club. Launch in Palatka, Florida a...

Hoping to get more Supercat's, ARC's and RC's to joins us in 2014. We are planning to target these regattas for 2014 and I hope more of you guys will joins us. They are: Miami to Key Largo - Miami - April 2014 Mug Race - Palatka-Jacksonville - May 2014 Around the Island Race - Ft Walton - Sept? 2014...

The Buzzelli Regatta had a big turn out of multihulls. The regatta had a distance race on friday and then around the cans on Sat/Sun. In the distance race there was a dozen Stilletos, a dozen F-boats (trimarans of all sizes) a formula 30 cat, a custom 40 cat, a tornado, G Cat, Foiling trimaran and a...

Great stuff there. Enjoy every minute, they grow up real fast.

Question of the day: Why did the Trifoiler and the Rave not grow into big classes? Here is my observation as to the trifoiler performance and most likely the everyday difficulties of any foiling boat. Wind. A certain minimum boat speed is needed in order to get up on a foil. That takes either ideal...

I've got a 19XL and a 20 and they have the same mast. The 19XL has a nice laminate factory main with the MAX bottom batten. Would that sail work on the 20 with its boom removed? I was going to get the sails together this weekend and see what kind of differences there were. I'm thinking the foot may...
