Aquarius Sail Owners

Hello all you SuperCat owners out there !!! I just found and purchased this neglected lil cat !!! I want to get her on the water for next season so I need help in getting her sail ready.

She needs a rework of the rudder kickup system
All standing rigging..forestay, shrouds, shroud quick release (righting system)
Mainsail blocks
Mainsail sheet
Traveler car
Traveler track

I would like to add the furling jib and need
furler
jib sail
jib sail sheet

Can any one out there help in obtaining any of these ?? Point me in the right direction ??

Robert

I can get you:

roller furling jib
bridles
10 hole adjusters for bridles
forestay with pigtail for jib
main sheet blocks with main sheet
jib blocks
jib clew blocks
jib sheet
Traveler car (no track)

Maybe a main sail.

Call me--I IM'd you.

Well its been a long winter but she is done. I have sailed her twice now. The last time I sailed her it was in a 15mph breeze and i got her up to 18mph, this was 2 up as well. Wow...... what a powerful and fast boat this is !!!! Now I have heard that these do not pitch pole......rest assured they do !!! I did it but it was no where near as violent as the Hobie's pitch pole. She deaccelerated slowly as both hulls went deeper. I think the wind got under the tramp and finished it off.

Dan the jib was a hoot on this !!! Next project is craddles for the trailer.....any idea where to find some of those ???

This was all rigged up next step was to float her.

Wow, maybe you can work on putting MORE tell-tale windows on your main?!

Look for the Hobie 20 cradles: http://www.murrays.com/mm5/merchant.mvc ... gory_Code=

I made mine with a tube and used the brackets for rollers. I think mine were the Inter cradles, but it took some enginemeering.

Dan it might look as though there are alot of tell tale windows. Actually there are only a few. What happened is when ever the sail was used last it was wet. The windows mildewed the the sail in thier pattern after it was rolled up. I have tried to remove them and they look better now. I wanted to post a pic taken at the last sailing on Saturday. I might have to put it on TheBeachCats.

OK, well, at least the jib is sexy!

Where is the double stack?? C'mon, you HAVE to show THAT off!!!

This entire rig screams SEXY FAST.... But for you Dan I will get you that picture of the lower half of the stack....the black sheet is hot !! Do you miss her ?? Thanks for the info on the cradels, I will be getting the set. I had her up to 18mph in a 15mph wind last weekend.

I was talking about the double stack rig for your trailer! we need to see that with the 15 and 14 on it!

Did you install the SC righting system with the Hayfield levers?? If not, how hard was it to right the boat when you flipped it??

Wind in her sails and water running under the hulls again......feels good

Ahhh....the drifter...she delt with it well !! Look at that jib working sooo hard...

They say all good things must come to an end. It was a good shake down sail for both skipper, crew and boat. Ended with a down wind run all the way to the pier.

Oh....that double stack....that one is being worked on. Yes the righting system is on her. I did not need it however. I was 2 up so it was a bit easier. I righted her twice. The first time she went right over the other way. Had to spin her around and try again. No problem that time though. Was a good experience though...I know I took a little water in the mast but I can seal it up a bit better now knowing.
