Hi Dear H14 sailors,

I am new to this forum. I am a boatbuilder, now making a 41ft sport carbon catamaran, my costumer has a broken hobie 14.

So I have to rebuild the broken hobie 14 too....

my customer has an idea to make a wavepiercing bow for her....like wildcat has...
he thinks that it will gives more volume at the front, and will be less pitch poles...and Develop the inside face to a rectangular transom with foam, glass .....since he is around 90kgs...

it could be funny, but I don't have any idea it will work or not.....

by tha way we rebuilt an old tornado into a wp bow and it works absolutely great on these small but straigth waves...

do you have any ideas about it?

I made some scatches




the other question is the mast....

I have to put a square top main on it and a code 0/genaker. ..will I have to put a pair os spreaders to the mast, or it is stiff enough?

I is worth to use a mast rotator?

Thank You your answers,

Lafouchat
