Ive scanned about 60 od pages of posts here trying to learn all that I can. (annoying that there are only 10 posts per page though!) One thing I havent seen mentioned is putting a float at the top of the mast on a cat so when you cap the mast wont go under. Ive seen it in a couple of photos but most boats Ive seen on the net dont have them. Are they considered "sissy" lol... Seems like a great idea to me. Where do you get them and how much are they???
