Shroud extenders?
On the boom less main.... I used the max bottom batten that Tom supplies. It's an aluminum tube that fits inside the bottom batten pocket on the foot of the sail. I think boomless is a bit of a misnomer for that thing.

Re: Righting a Catamaran
I guess the forward tramp, spin pole, and beam could have hit a wave, it was really lumpy out there.
We come to Lanier sailing club fairly frequently and race A cats or our F16. I've never seen your boat there, assume you are across the way at Aqua Land (think that's the name of it)?

Re: Righting a Catamaran
Noted. What's the best way to drive the boat downwind when the wind is up like that? We weren't using the spinnaker, just main amd jib. I have a cat with a spin and it seems we are able to bear away when the gusts hit amd drive out of it. Yesterday the boat just seemed to bury the bows when the gust...

Re: Righting a Catamaran
Guess I had to do some testing since we've been talking about righting. A friend and i went out on my 20 today in some higher winds (14-17 with gusts in the 20's) and pitch poleed the thing. My drag chute hasn't come in yet so I couldn't try the power righting so used the righting levers. When I pul...

Re: Righting a Catamaran
Hiking out using a righting line Having a power boat pull you over (have had to do that from turtle with a mast that wasn't sealed) Power righting? Seems I've heard mention of power righting on here, something about stepping on your mainsheet and the boat righting? That doesn't sound right but that'...

Re: New Sails - Help, Tom!!??
I agree. Unless I'm getting the laminate material sail, I like color. The colorful beach cats sails are awesome, one of the things I like about them.

Re: Crickets
Can you pull the traveler farther to windward with that system? Dave Farmer has something similar on his 22. He says he can pull it to windward some and pop the hull out of the water a little earlier (I believe that's what he told me anyway).

Re: Foiling Sailboats, Foiling Beach Cats
I'll probably get blasted for posting this but...... I've been racing A cats some this winter amd the boats are getting much better at foiling. They are getting in the air at around 7-8 mph winds. They are only foiling downwind right now, but I've seen a video of a new design doing it upwind. Not su...

Re: SC 20 restore part 2
I bought the 'B' stock without adhesive amd used contact cement. The hydroturf on the newest 20 is still in great shape going on 2 years.
