Pitch pole?
I have never done this on mine...have flipped it many times...7 times in one Round the Island race back in 1995...but never pitch poled.
I still sail my 1977 Solcat 15, and my 1976 Solcat 18.
Yes you will have to hunt for parts or retro fit.
But really, Solcats are not high tech and full of special equipment.
Most can be fabbed up from available parts for others cats and monohulls.
I think the Hobie 16 is the pitch pole champ, but your looking at a Hobie 18...totally different cat
