[quote=kcampers]Hi everyone. I?m one of those guys that has taken more from this site then I have been able to contribute.  I?m a newbie and bought my first cat in November after financially having to sell my ski boat. I couldn?t imagine not being on the water so I bought a ?78 Sol Cat for $600 back in November and have been restoring it since.  Well I finished it up 3 weeks ago and I think it came out great.  I remember reading on the forum that it was a good idea to replace the rigging but in an effort to save some cash I just inspected them and they looked fine.  On the maiden voyage we had hours of fun until one of the shroud lines snapped and down came mast. My wife and I were very lucky we didn?t get hurt. I felt so stupid. Got new rigging for it and on our second time there was no wind and a temperature of 103 it was just miserable. So the wife isn?t to fond of going out any more.  What do you guys think???
