darter159,

Right on! I agree that it is a great addition! I'm using it quite a bit - it is especially useful when the wind direction does not match the waves, normally around islands or closer to shore!

Thanks!

Heading up north and really excited to try my new Bravo again. I sailed it 3 short times and then came back to the city where I have been out on Albacores in Lake Ontario.

I sail on a river so wind direction is hard to figure out: offshore wind on both sides, :?: current, prevailing wind. I would love to fasten a wind indicator. Has anyone tried something as simple as "tell tails" tied to the A frame?

I installed a U-shackle on the mainsheet block "post" - and put a Wichard snap shackle on the top of the tiller. Now I can remove the mainsheets and store them in the compartment below the tiller. That should keep the lines in like-new shape - AND doesn't make it so obvious that the boat is sail-ready.

Do you have a picture of what you did?

My next "mod" is going to be installing some sort of pointy gull-deterrent on top of the Hobie Bob - good grief, my daughter and I went to sail and had to give the boat a bath first....... stoopid birds :twisted:

I found this picture for mast support during transportation or storage. I think is cool.
