Ive heard that that some of the new ILCA hulls are lighter than others. Perhaps some 127 lbs. Is there truth to that statement?

breaker I'm four years late on a response- is your point on. your 2014 the glass has still not cured. is dryvand stiff?

HI Pam...Love to show it to you...anytime you are available. it is inside storage on the Middletown RI Newport RI line.

I did find one for sail on the internet - the post is old but still there: http://www.sailingtexas.com/scatalina8a.html Hope it opens for you. I was just told by Catalina only 2 or 3 were made. The ad says it uses a Laser rig. Since i have 3 Lasers have extra rigs/sails. IF they fit, have not...

thank you for response, the plot thickens. The catalina 8 I'm referig to is not a pram, not a Sabotl Here is a picture

Does anyone have info on a Catalina 8? Have a hull, saw an ad that said it takes a Laser rig. Need a blade and rudder for it.

From the moment i read the class announcment ive been thinking vote NO ~!. Reading Bruce Kirby's message drove me to confirm my No Position. I cant get my mind around why the class leans LPE, seems fair for GS to get my nod. In trying to sort out the class position a frined pointed out that it...

Thank you Grouvernail and Tillerman, you have shed light! My first reaction after reading the letter to the class yesterday was why side with a builder who does not have, or is not willing to pay in the future, for rights. What makes the class request a YES vote? Why side with the builder who...

On the surface following the class letter it may seem simple, but I wonder if it is REALLY a no brainer. If we vote is YES what stops the legal Patent Holder from suing the builder making boats without an agreement? Seems to me a continued legal dispute following a vote would hold the whole...

I’ve some questions for this forum. Agree stiff is faster than soft, · how does one measure stiffness? · What about hollows, sometimes seen just aft or alongside the dagger board opening? background: I’ve three Lasers, 82 beater and loaner, '92 lake and frostbiting and '02 for...

Use good judgement and know your ability. When I first started frostbitting in CT 20 years ago we had a 20 20 rule. don't go out Below 20 degrees and or over 20 mph.

Thank you so much. Your fix makes lots of sense, and if i had to do it again would use that method. FYI, I did the repair before your reply. I planned on using cloth, but when the time came I did not have any, and the store was closed. Since my biggest problem was the hole arond the brass...

Thanks to you both. Since it looks like you are both D10 I assume you both went to Collie. BTW are they still black? Tony
