Two new wheels and tires for the trailer, fix wiring and replace some bulbs and I finally got the boat home today.
As I stare proudly at my 1983 H16 It suddley occurs to me, I don't know how to put it together

Thanks, I have the manual. If you never sailed and you have never seen a catamaran up close, the terminology and instructiong appear to be a forgien language.

It's part of the adventure, I will figure it out.

I remember that day. How the heck does this work? Make sure to pick a day when you go out first time that it isn't too windy. I know from my own lack of experience that you can get in mess of trouble when the wind kicks up, and neither you or your crew no exactly what to do. Remember, pointy side up.

Ronnie,

I'll try to give you a call tonight. I might be able to swing by this weekend.

It's just like mine! Be ready for it to take a lot of your time, it's worth it though.
