Reply to: first boat... prindle 18 hulls in decent shape needs rigging. I'm new

[quote=jonnyredface][quote]How many boats are in that Shark fleet? I've always considered that a cool classic. Let them know they have a fan here.[/quote] not sure of an exact count but there is probably 12 dry docked all the time. a consistent 10 that hit the water week after week. [quote]I have sailed it in decent wind. Unfortunately it has been lake sailing so far, but I find lakes with shifty winds to be the true test of any type of sailing.[/quote] yep last year I made the best of the finger lakes. Canandaigua mostly. couple trips on lake Ontario. but for a new sailor the lake wind is extremely frustrating. swirling and puffing. I ended up on my side a lot last summer. even sent my fiancé through the main, pulled the luff right out of the mast(pain in the ass). so this summer im going to attempt to not do that again. ill have to look into the 8mm buzz line made by NE Ropes. what ropes exactly did u replace with that. I have to replace all the running rigging, halyards jib and main sheet lines and shock cords. that stuff has seen better days. I took a better look at the traveller car and rail and both are pretty well beat up. im going to have to do something soon. the trampoline I think I can get another year out of.[/quote]
