A 15 is already a fine handful. A 17 rig on a 15 would be out of hand. The hull design ans sail plan are timeless masterpieces, all that needs to be f@#ked with are the minor hardware choices made a long time ago. That's just the fun of these boats when you're not sailing. My boat looks fast sitting...

Sounds like the ticket. I was figuring on a 1/4-20 bolt with a shank. Do you have a pic of your crossbar connection? How did the flexible cutting board shim work out? My starboard rudder has a lot of play in it.

I have the same hardware. It's a Ronstan or equivalent swivel It's sloppy as hell. The issue seems to be the plug that the rudder lines pass through. All the crossbar connections I see bolt vertically through the tillers. I suppose I could pull that plug and rotate it 90 deg and then drill for a ver...

Well, You would know from capsize head shots. Ya still seeing stars?

Does Tom know about this?

I got my first taste of beach catamarans on Pacific Cats in 1969. They had a crossbar all the way forward between the bows. Why did this go out of favor?

It wouldn't open. It stinks of a scam. I deleted it.

nobody said there was going to be a quiz

Question: Why are the rudder pins so large in diameter on SC and ARC products???
Bill, I was under the impression you designed the super cat. Please advise. GH

With a two hole mast tang, what's the set up? Shrouds and for stay upper and trap wires lower?

Now that was an easy upgrade. None of the old roll pins I knocked out survived.

What's the best upgrade for my mast tang? It's kinda crowded up there. I've been told an H-18 tang is a good one. It looks good. I am open to suggestion. GH
