RandallKC Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 I just purchased a 5.8 on Facebook market place. The owner can no longer sail so he sold off his fleet. I have sailed a Hobie cat on vacation had a blast The boat has sat for a few years and am sure I will have lots of little things to do. I don’t even know how to put the mast on. What should I check? im interested in single hand mast raising and lowering. How do you guys do it? im pretty nervous about the whole thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darcy1945 Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 Where are you ? nearest sailing club. Everything about the 5.8 is a two man job, you may have jumped in the deep end a little early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandallKC Posted October 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 I live in Kansas City. I will just have to reef it i guess. My buddy Frank wants to sail with me. I need to find a harness. I also need to rework the rudder bungies and the dagger board bungies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
