Aaagghhhh....I have about had it with this boat. Spent soooooo much time, money and effort getting this boat back together and would have been de-masted if I hadn't noticed the crack beneath the mast plate just before I left the dock. Any suggestions for repair? It is a mod 2, no cracks in the...

Recently I have been sailing in a public lake and as the year progresses I see fewer and fewer boats on the lake. Meaning fewer opportunities for assistance if something happens. Added to that I have seen Youtube videos of solo sailors falling into the water and trying to get back on their boat...

I was thinking about everything I've been through over the last few years learning about and sailing my mod 2 14.2 and thought it would be a good idea to start a links thread that would allow people to find information about our boat. Granted this may have been done in the past but I haven't...

I hope I get some good news on this. Long story short, the boat went down a hill and hit a tree, cracking the transom. Have asked for quotes and companies don't feel it is worth their time. One company quoted me $3000-$4000, 30-40 hours of work. I am pretty handy with fiberglass and filler and...

May well be my mistake so I wanted to ask for clarification from other owners before I commit further folly. I own a mod 2 and ordered the halyard set from Catalina Direct. Main halyard is about right, but jib halyard seems to be about 15 feet short? Have a buckle on the mast and there don't...

I have noticed on a number of threads stating people paddle their boat off the dock. It may seem like a silly question but how do you do it? Sit on the bow straddling the forestay?

I was doing some maintenance on the boat and noticed the mast step was loose. This may sound like a silly question but how tight should the nuts be? To me it would stand to reason that you would not want any play/movement at all. Can you over-tighten and crack the fiberglass?

This may seem really elementary to the majority of you. A new lake opened up about 10 minutes from the house, 10-16 feet deep and I want to sail on it more often. The issue I have is getting off the dock solo? The dock has railings most of the way around it. The wind typically blows straight...

I like to solo sail and have a question about getting the jib down in a stiff wind/bad weather/docking. Has anyone rigged a jib downhaul running a small diameter line from the cockpit to a swivel block at the bow and then attach it to the top hank or the head of the jib? Hoist the jib halyard as...
