Here is my Wave

I just found out that I'm off work April 9th for Good Friday, so I'll be able to make the Spring Fever Regatta after all! If it's not too much trouble, Dan, I'd like to borrow your other "hooterized" H14 and chase you around the course.

I'm afraid I'm not much of a skipper (always been better as crew!) but now is as good a time to learn as ever!

Man, you're just a few days too late! I already told a friend of mine that he could use it!!

If you could get a hold of a (Hooter) sail and rigging, I may be able to bring a third 14 with me...

I'm afraid I can't get ahold of a hooter, but I can use the jib and sheets/blocks/cleats from my G-Cat 5.7M. Would a windsurfer mast work well enough as a spi-pole? What else would I need to bring?

I used a "skinny" windsurfer mast cut down to about 10.5 feet. I have a few regular windsurfer masts that I was thinking about using on other boats, but I don't know if I'll get around to actually doing it. The big part about setting the 14 up with the Hooter is getting the spi pole right and the sail angle adjusted.

The extra boat I would bring would not have a jib, the two I am bringing both have jibs and Hooters. One has a pin head main and the other has a square top. The third one would also have an older pin head, but at least it would be a 6-batten one.

The jib for your boat probably wouldn't work because of the cut and the angle of the clew. Maybe you could talk Bob into talking Sabre sails into making another Hooter?!

really, it would only take me a day to convert the boat, but it would take some time to make sure it is correct. That wouldn't happen until that Friday before the race, and I would really like to sail. I'm going to try to get there early on Thursday so I can set up and get some time in on the water, too.

If you can get a sail, and the dimensions are the same as mine, then it would be no problem at all..
