Posts: 1,253 Columbia South Carolina, USA | I bought a G-Cat 21 last year, and it came with 2 racks. They are pretty awesome, tubular aluminum, mesh tramp, with slugs that fit into the beams. They ran on a pulley that went just above the hounds and as one was down the other was up. The guy I sold the boat to may want to get rid of them, I know he is never going to rig them up. Eric, what did you get? Dave Mosley F18 On the way

Posts: 1,911 South Florida & the Keys | Yeahhh Baby! It was built in 2000 but only sailed for a two years, technora sails, a few spinnies and a bunch of waterline. I will be taking it to Key LArgo for 4 days of fun at the end of the month. I'll post a report when I get back.
