do you remember who made the Solcats, and where?
Also, where do the shockcords for the traps run? Fore and aft under the outer deck lip? Or underneath the tramp and out through special tubes through the hull? It's not apparent to me from limited pics available. I may have sent azcat looking for grommets in his new tramp which just aren't there... my bad.
PS: In your previous post, did you mean that Sol 18 can/does use NACRA 5.2 daggerboards??
Hey. I just got back into town.
I will mine my info in my files at home tonight for the facts.
I know NACRA bought the company around 1978. The Sol 18 soldiered on for a couple of years after that, I think but the 5.2 and the Prindle 18 were hotter sellers.
I can't remember how the traps' the shock cord was routed but I have photos at home that may job my memory.
A few years ago I remember someone posting here that mentioned the 5.2 boards would fit the Sol 18.
You could pull up the daggers if they slipped down in the well to far. There was shockcord in a hole at the forward end of the the top of the board that hooked to a spot on the hull a couple of feet forward of the board well.
