5.7 G-Cat

Bought this cat a few weeks ago from a fellow subscriber up in St. Pete Florida but cant find his email so I thought I would post a few questions here.

First off, I was so surprised that you use a rope to attach the fuller and bridle. I have a Hobie 16 so it is a bit unusual for me. I keep my mast up all the time so is there something else more substantial I can use??

Also my port shroud is just tied with rope and the rigging seems very loose. I assume I can buy a simple shroud adjuster from Hobie and use it.

Couple of other sail questions like I noticed it was very hard to turn either way and I had some good wind. Seems the hulls really cut into the water unlike the Hobie.

My sails may need a bit of work too so I will need to find a local sail repair place. I live in Bradenton Florida about an hour South of St. Pete Florida.

TIA for any help and or comments.
