F 28 Cat Ketch - Gary Hoyt Design

Posted by andrewgarte (agarte@…>)

I am looking at one of these and am seeking some info on the rigs. It
was wishbone booms and a sail that wraps around the carbon finer
masts. The main (forward) mast has the gel coat checked and cracked
off in places - might this be a sign that the stick is cracked or
getting ready to fail, or does this happen to just the gel coat on
these after 25 years?

The boat is very nice and clean, sail very well - even points fairly
well. I’m trying to get info on the rig set up and how to tune /
adjust the wishbones on the mast for optimal performance.

I’m also trying to assess the boats overall condition to purchase it.
THe water tank appears to be leaking, but the resto f the plumbing
seems fine.

Anyone who knowns anything about these, please let me know - Andy
