Re: Lang lang first timer

Hey Campbell, I'm in a similar situation - regularly kayak fish PPB but yet to venture out WP. I'd be tempted to pitch a tent and stay a couple of nights at the LL Caravan Park. Have no idea about tides around that area but as Happyas suggested - perhaps tag along with someone who knows the area? I'...

Re: Deck Hardware question - Sail reciever

Thanks Brett, I wanted to be simple as.

Patto i'm not sure, i cross that bridge to work and back, it seems to be quite calm most of the time (and no boats).

Re: Deck Hardware question - Sail reciever

Brett, absolutely! I think my first run will be on Patto river - Aqua centre end. Just an update - spent this morning fitting the mast, its base and supports - so far so good :yahoo: First, the base is placed with some tack to establish a leveled and centred position, pilot holes drilled after: phot...

Re: Deck Hardware question - Sail reciever

Kelly, that was my exact thought too - to avoid outriggers / amas etc, and to keep this simple as. A couple of of blocks and cleats - that's about it :up: I'll post up the pics once the prototype is setup. I guess it'll be a few weeks anyway before the maiden voyage.

It's only 0.8m^2, much smaller than the Hobie one but it has a rigid boom, from the reviews i've seen it should be a pretty good matc...

Deck Hardware question - Sail reciever

Hey Yakkers, Is anyone familiar with the attached fitting? What is it referred to as? Came as part of a sail package, it's a flexible polyurethane and plastic base assembly for the sail mount. Just wanted to do a bit of research before drilling holes etc as the fixing hole dia is only about 5mm (two...
