FInallly trying to get my SC 20 back together and in the water after many years. Been sailing Hobie 18 w wings past few years. Look forward to getting Supercat back in the water. Was in Panama over the winter Bocas would be fun with this. Great sailing guys Awesome. Was actually looking for some instruction on rigging

Love the sailing, hate the music. Felt like I was in a hair salon! Keep sailing, looks like loads of fun, great boat. I am working on a Supercat 19, close to getting in the water.

Scuba Steve hair salon!!! Dude you will have a blast! Yes the music is not for everyone:). I miss this bit very much. The hurricanes made it even harder to restore her back to health. I’m looking for another one. These cats are superbly designed. Don’t let anyone tell you the Boston whaler years are any less awesome than the Others.

@@HighDefinitionVideo, while, as you graciously replied, "the music isn't for everyone", to some your music selection was spot on for what a sail like this looks to feel like. Sweet! And nothing "hair salon" about it.

Wonder why this guy doesn't use his traveler to controll the main sail. Perhaps because he likes flipping the boat constantly? ;-)

Where do you get off using classy music? Where is the cheesy crap from some Shaft movie or God forbid , dubstep. And nicely presented as well! I could feel the tension melting away from my shoulders and rudders. I too have recently had cam problems that made sailing on a 15 - 20 knot day a royal bitch. Thanks, and good job

They are so fun! Also a very high thrills to bills ratio. No need to spend a ton of money. The thing seems that "beach associations" or the Gov have shut out the down home beach cat sailor. I say if there is a clean used rig why not let people keep cats on the beach? At least for a few months when the weather is right? Right? Right? Let's all stand up and fight for our right to hobie!

All I can say is WOW! I can't believe it didn't completely de-mast on you. I would say that was a "good day". At least you made it back in on the jib. Could have been a lot worse. Great job guys! :-) Looking for new videos from you when you get it back together. What an awesome cat!

Thank you for the comment. Yes it was testament to the build quality of the cat. And the fast action by my intrepid crew Morgan Avery :). It’s still in pieces on vessel on st thomas. I hope to post more videos soon on a borrowed F18 infusion soon.

3 years later :))) On SJ being St John or SJ San Juan? STJ I think is the airport code:) Anyway yes there are a few cats on Cruz bay which I think is awesome! I think prindle 16, maybe H16? Check out West Indies Windsurfing if you are looking for something more high like the H18.

Some rigging tips: add more mast rake and shroud tension, if you sail under weight like in the video here you want less than full power in your rig, so add more rake and tension. This is a big beach cat can you get three trap wires. What is the sail plan and mast height when compared to a Nacra 20? one more thing, what happened to the starboard hull (see lunch break). Nice to see an old boat tearing it up.

Hello Comrade!! went out on sunday for some quintessential caribbean sailing. Chrystal blue skies and 15-17 know steady with nice puffs. Had two adults and three kids and easy 20 knots. Smiles for weeks. Ill be posting more soon. The go pro almost always goes too. I have a lifeproof case and go pro mount for my iphone that works ok. The image quality is superb but needs a wider lens. Still playing with that one.
