Ok, I've got to see pics of your boat. How about making yourself an album in the "Beachcats People" section and uploading a bunch of pictures?
Or if that looks like too much trouble just email to me at

I've always been fascinated with the 21se, there was one on the dealers lot when I bought my first H18 but the width and weight kept me away. I've wondered how it would work with a modern rig, but the weight is still a killer.

Bill,
Here are some pics of Hobie 21 sails #270 and also the Nacra #656. Both were made by EPSAILS.

WOW !
I really like that main sail on your 21SE.Who made it?My sail is fine but I am thinking of buying news sails for both my Hobie 16 and my Hobie 21SE.I want all orange sails on my 16,think Orange Crusher and I may have a square head sail made for my 21SE that sort of matches my original Stars and Stripes color pattern.I have wanted a different style spinnaker for a long time and just haven't figured out what to get.Any ideas...

Both the Nacra 5.8 and Hobie 21SE sails were made by Elliott Pattison Sailmakers http://www.epsails.com/ . I dealt with Skip Elliott and also his son. The colors are limited but they are great sails.
My other 21SE buddy got new sails this year and had more color choices. His are made by Doyle http://www.doylesails.com/ and I guess $500-$800 more than mine. Here are some pictures http://www.flickr.com/pho…/sets/72157624185283612/. They are nice sails; powerful, light.

Dan, instantly recognized the north shore of Big Mac from your pics. Awesome lake! For those not in the know, "Big Mac" is called the "poor man's Mexico". White powder sand equal to anything in the Carribean, clear unpolluted fresh water, steady breezes....cat sailing nirvana! -

Dan thanks for the links to the pictures, I would love to invest in new sails and always liked the many colors , I presently have tequila sunrise on my h 18. Yours friends 21 is really really bright...
we shall see what the future holds as i am in the research phase right now. how big is the lake you sail at. It looks kind of frozen right now as our lakes are allso.

Ted, Lake McConaughy is about 22 miles long and 3-4 miles wide. It is a wonderful lake to sail. The Hobie 17 and 18s had their North American Championship there last Labor Day. We also had some F18s and an A Cat there. It was sailing like the 80s with everyone camping on the beach, big beach fires, lots of beachcats. I was one of the chase boats and took a bunch of pics http://picasaweb.google.c…y=Gv1sRgCLzMmaPBsd29gAE# It is pretty much the only place I sail anymore.
The lake is probably frozen. Here are some pics of the lake and area around there http://picasaweb.google.c…y=Gv1sRgCKnc0Ozut8rVhgE#
Where do you sail?

Nacraman57
Look me up next summer if you make it to Big Mac. I usually hang around Seagull Beach (East of Sandy Beach but west of Theis Bay). Which Nacra do you have? I saw another 5.8 with white sails several times last summer (sail number in the 200s maybe). My cousin talked to him and he has had the boat since new I think. Where are you from?

Hey Dan thanks for the replies, I wil be sailing on Sacandaga resavoir here locally, Lake George, Raquete lake and Lake champlain, all are upstate New York, took my h18 to Cape Cod last year for vacation but it was a real hassle finding place to keep it on the beach, most people with million dollar homes and in massachusetts they own to the low water mark. I had found a homeowner that allowed me to keep it in front of his house but kids messed with it at night and moved it down beach. glad they didnt push it out to sea. It was great sailing in cape cod bay though...
thanks for the3 links to pictures i am geting some ideas on sails, going to talk with the local Doyle sail guy this month.
