We've been enjoying our Horizon, slowly becoming self-taught sailors, but we ran into a hitch yesterday that has us flummoxed. Somehow the connector between...
I'd remove them two hinge bolts, one on either side. Then she should slide right in. Replace the two bolts. But, hey, that's just me. And, I only have a Picnic...
I don't know George. I have no idea how this mast hinge system works and without having it in my hand, even with those pictures from your boat I still don't...
On my older C19 the main sheet blocks are mounted on the transom. The end of the boom is a few feet inboard, so a slack main sheet (when coming about for...
Picnic Cat's hinge system looks the same, except without all those wires. The sail track may have been deformed when that slider fitting came out. GHaycraft ...
Hey, Banjodawg! The answer is just pop the hinge bolts out, drop the gooseneck back into the mast stub, and put it back together. Here's a trick, too. Spin...
My 1983 CP18 is set up like yours, however, a friend of mine has a 1987 CP19/2 and he has a traveler on the bridge deck with the main sheet block attached....
Do you know of anyone who has simply moved the two sheet blocks from the transom forward to the cabin top -- one on either side of the companionway hatch? ...
Does anyone know someone sharp enough in the sail-making business who would be capable of taking a standard jib from a CP16 and cutting it down to make a...
Bob, Instead of a jib club, you might consider a single batten from the clew to the luff, running perpendicular to the luff. GHaycraft Picnic Cat #29...
George, it seems that having nothing at all would let the jib shape better. I suspect the reason for the club might be to keep the sail from riding up the...
Thanks for the suggestion. Bob ... From: "powdermoose1" <powdermoose@...> To: <com-pac@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 02, 2009 6:24 PM Subject:...
Bob, I've owned two boats with jib clubs, a Doughdish with light wood club, and a Buzzsards Bay 14 with a club the size of a CP16 mast section. They basically...
That's what I figured. Thanks, George. B ... From: "George Haycraft" <georgehaycraft@...> To: <com-pac@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 02, 2009...
The tubeless tires on my Performance trailer for my CP19 are shot. Any suggestions? Should I replace them with tube type? Should I(gulp) replace the wheels? ...
I replaced mine with what was there. Chelse make sure there the E rating. Kids at the tire store do not look close and can get the rong load rating. Much...
Just wanted to see if some of you guys had an thoughts on the following: I think I have a tiny bit of water, like droplets, slowly seeping into the cabin,...
I just purchased a compac 16 that I will keep docked at a small lake. The prior owner trailered the boat, but had not cleaned the bottom. I sanded the bottom...
I have the same problem with my first mate..He's getting too long. Check out the photo section, Multimedia Smith has some great photos of a cockpit filler and...
... Hello Sandi, We also have a CP16 and Love it. The two holes in the cockpit are drain holes, water does enter the boat, but very little, and is contained at...
Ahoy, Skipper, Sounds like a good project to stop those leaks, but I'd shy away from RTV or silicone. There are certain tasks it's good for, but they are few...
Sandi, here's some old, old advice from a member here. A bit winded { sorry Gil } but good just the same. Scroll down for info. I think i have another, if so,...
Sandi, another one on bottom paint and such. { scroll down } Terry old-timers tip: after barrier coat, apply one coat of one color ABLATIVE (wears off) bottom...
Jim, some [ saved stuff ] from a member or two about tires / sizes / etc. I also think i've got yet another i'll send. Terry { scroll down for info } ~ Accept...
