Got the cat out last weekend, most everything is in good order, had a blast,think that I may have gotten my son and his buddy hooked. AWESOME!!!
One problem, When I tied in the battens on the main, One of the pockets ripped right behind the grommet. I guess there was some sun damage down the trailing edge. so far the rest are holding up.
s there a quick fix for this or do I need to look for another sail?
If i am going to need a new sail, what other cat sails will fit my solcat 18?
Also, if I get new travlers for main and jib do I need to replace tracks also?
How about down haul? is this an option I should install?
The SOL is coming together great. I rebuilt hte trailer also. The first time I buuilt it a little light and it folded up in the middle when I stepped the mast with the winch and then my son(220)his buddy(150) and I (180) jumped on the front of the boat. I beefed it up and I think its solid now. It turnede out pretty good. If I can figure out how,Ill post pics. also am building beach wheels, will also post pics of this if it works out well.
Gotta go watch the Phx Suns game.
Thanks in advance for your help.
One other thing, I think that the best way to run my traps is to drill holesw thru the hull, insert PVC thru,and glue them in. I belive the nacra has this setup.
Opinions and suggestions appreciated.
