Here is the link for the kit: http://store.catsailor.com/tek9.asp?pg=products&specific=jmnrkomnk0Simple stuff. Just check out the article on it and how to install it at http://www.catsailor.com/waves/superwave_overall.html and all its links. The new one will be a while.., lots of problems so far, although I was able to stay with a Hobie 20 for a about a 1/2 mile before the bow sprit exploded. The hHobie stuff won't work.., I would suggest the blocks, cleats, etc. that come with the kit. Thanks, Rick | | | Re: questions about wave hooter system

Mary, With the pole fully extended, it was pretty far out in front of the boat; so it worked pretty well in the same position on both tacks.
I need to work on my furling technique. I used a big carbiner to clip it to a loop of rope on the bridle junction, and stuck the base into the downhaul loops. To unfurl it, I stood up, shoved it under the bridle, clipped the carbiner and pulled the pole backwards to "pop the chute", then pushed it back forward to extend the pole and set the base. Furling it was basically reversed, but clumsier. I'm not real sure I like having a pointy umbrella base loose on the tramp.

Posts: 757 japan | thanks, for comparison purposes that makes it slightly larger than the 86sqft hooter on the 14ft weta tri

Posts: 24 central Maine | The club version has a fully laced up tramp like the 14, vs the classic 'SE' which has a one-piece tramp set up for easy disassembly, portablilty (car-topping). Also, some minor differences in attachment hardware, and shrouds, classic employs snap clips. Club is more or less set up for more permanent 'dry sailing'(stored all set up and ready to go on beach). Either one can be taken apart, just more time to do so on club version.

Posts: 342 Indianapolis, IN - Midwest USA... | Okay, I know my spin-brella looks silly and isn't "class legal", but I've been using it during club races anyway, since I'm usually the only Portsmouth boat on the race course. Yesterday however, there were 4 other boats (Melges 17's) which raced under the Portsmouth flag.
Well I knew they beat me, but I just wondered what the "corrected" comparison was, but was told that they didn't keep track of me, since I was DSQ'd for my illegal sail. Is that right? I don't know what the Portsmouth factor would be for a beach umbrella, but is it up to the scorers to enforce class rules in a Portsmouth race?

You would have to be protested by another boat and have a proper hearing to be disqualified. I think that is a pretty unfriendly thing for them to do. It would probably be a good thing to take a spinnaker correction next time, just so there are no hard feelings. Your umbrella certainly isn't as effective as a proper spinny.

If you have one of those "instant sign" shops around (or find one on the internet), they should be able to do anything in any size you want, as a vinyl sheet. Go for it!
