adding sx wings to h 18

has anyone added sx wings to 1980 era h 18
what would the negatives be in this endeavor
I recreation sail and like the idea of being up and out of the water, and a little further out over the side.
would i be better looking for magnum wings
Thanks for any input
Ted

Same attachment points, SX wings are longer. Either will work.

Be sure to add the anchor plates/brackets and reinforce the hull to deck area. Also on the SX wings add the for/aft braces.

fore/aft braces were mentioned. are these hobie parts or home made and where would they go/attach to. am putting wings on my 18sx and want to do it right the first time.

sorry, but forgot to ask about the hull to deck bracing.

fore/aft braces are Hobie. I have a new set but never used them because I have a magnum set of wings.

How does that effect your trapeez setup?

I beleive that it is the same trapeze, lenght etc. as the conection point would swing in an arc and be the same as you trap off the wings you are further out and also up....
