just looking for comments... putting together a Super Wave aka Tsunami... why? 'cause we have the parts to do it...
wondering how to reenforce the Wave chainplates/shroud connect points w/the taller rig of the H14? Thoughts? Thx, Rob.
comments on a H14 rig on Wave platform?

The chain plates should be fine, the original H-14 was connected to the side bar (not very good at all). I purchased longer shrouds, drilled a hole in the lip like the H-16 added the ss bar, shroud pin, twist clip and adjuster for the H-14. The attachments on the Wave are much better, and should be able to handle the taller mast. If I was going to beef anything it would be the standing rigging, at least to H-16 standards, and at least a 5:1 mainsheet system. -

well we did it yesterday... transferred the bottom and top castings off a wave and onto a solid alu H14 mast... installed a lower shroud hank and used the wave rigging... kept the original wave mainsheet system, but tied an extra line at the bottom of the blocks and around the crossbar in case the 2 little rivets holding it to the bar gave way.
it was blowing stink yesterday (coastrat was out chillin)... holy smokes that hobie waver w/the taller mast and H14 sail was flying! I swear we were on a plane going upwind... NEVER went that fast on a wave...
the boom is really low too, so you have to be extra careful there, and it had noticable weather helm; can adjsut the rudders or just live wiht it...
all in all a huge success.
i'm going to double up the chain/shroud plates and just go with it... what fun! -

What about trapeze on the superwave? I think it would benefit greatly and it looks like a nice platform to trapeze of.

yeah that'd be fun.. think I may need a dolphin striker or maybe long piece of L alu riveted to bottom of front crossbar? I guess that and a tiller extension are next! -
