Thanks! The previous owner had the boat sitting up for 2 years before I bought it and in that time he went through and painted a few parts including the wing frames and crossbars.
Also, nice sails Brian - I've got the same pattern

Went out to the Texas City Dike this past Saturday; pretty good turnout with about a dozen cats. Winds were unfortunately pretty light (5-10) so I took the 18 out for a few solo runs. I'm sure this is probably old hat for most of you but I was pretty excited (and nervous) to be out there single handing for the first time. Turned out to be a total blast and a great learning experience. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmduX_5OGHY&hd=1[/youtube] |

Nice!! That must be a real thrill flying off the wings. And that's a clean-looking 18 you have there. Did you paint the wing frames and crossbars? Very nice. |

Great video! Trapping off the wings looks like so much fun! Hey, What camera were you using? I'm trying to decine between a Hero or Fujifilm XP10. |

Also modified a GOPRO head mount to work with it as well. The Playsport has been really great so far.. |

when you have the hot stick all the way extended like that how do you handle it during the tack? |

How did you mount the camera, is it a go pro you are using. I have a mount at the front of each of my hulls but would love to have one on the middle. Marty Hobie 18sx |

Since I had quite a bit to handle when it came time to tack I would come down to the tramp then just throw the stick back and let it drag in the water. Once I was tacked around and ready to get back out I would pull it back up. Made it one less thing to worry about and I didn't have to shorten it before or re-extend it after the tack.

I'll try to get a photo of the mount later but I'm using a Kodak Playsport, which only has a 1/4"-20 thread to work with. I am using RAM mounts for all the mounting. Some of my videos I shot with a RAM suction cup mount on the front of the hull but for this I removed the metal mount for my Windex from the front of the furler then attached a U-bolt to the piece of rubber/plastic the windex mount was screwed into. From there I used a RAM arm to hang the camera down between the bridles (upside down) and then flipped the video on the computer. |
