Upon Inspection, Can North and Hyde Sails be Identified from each other? If they are new and unopened? If they are used? What might be some ways of determining this?
48,000 miles on my Kitty Hawk, (cross country 4 times) plus all the other distances. First time I was worried about the 8" tires, but even in 100 degrees the hubs never got warm enough to warrant worry, normally they were always cool to the palm. Some people install 12" wheels for this concern...
Nathan. Excess friction in light conditions. Excessive line and having to pull more than on grab. Gradually remove parts it until you find your like. Of course if your very weak the 15.1 is necessary. Make sure you pull with your body and arm stiff, not with your arm alone.
Lots of crunches in the bow when I was learning. :mad: Didn't have time to repair between several regatts. Tapped over the damage spots with rigging tape (worked really well kepping out moisture.):cool: Boat was new so I repaired with matched gelcoat from Vanguard, (bought 1 of each color.) Got...
I'm ready to send money via Pay Pal to purchase new sails on the Laser For Sail Ads. But it seems like such a chance, in that the seller is across the country. How can I be confident the deal is real? The lister has been a member since 2010 if that is of any consideration.
2 California to Miami round trips, 1 California to Montreal RT, 1 California to Buffalo RT. Many west coast excursions and others amounting to over 40,000 miles in all weathers with a new laser on a Kitty Hawk. Never a nick. Storm top and Auqatic bottom cover, (borrow the one you need). Wore out...
I had one of those sails with the straight pocket too (radial). I've had batten falling out problems with 3 of the 8 sails I've gone through (all brands). Sewed the sleeves so installing and removing battens was tight, that worked. But taping from each side around the leech a few inches...
No, Sorry. I bought 2 Intensity sails (0ne radial and one standard) with battens and all the Intensity battens are shorter (up to 3/4") than the battens that came with my North and Hyde sails. The North and Hyde sail battens are all identical in length. The Intensity battens are not.
Can't argue...
I would like to rent a late model full rig for the US Olympic Development Team Training Camp being held at the Annapolis YC on May 29,30,31. I would prefer an all inclusive deal but will work with any combination offered.
Or I would appreciate any information that would lead me to a boat.
It makes a huge difference. Noticable when competing against much better competitors regularly and unable to point well. Of course it's all critical and everything influences your performance. (boat flat, body movement with waves, mainsheet work, control line settinge etc.) But realizing that...
