Ben, Congrats on your purchase! I just picked up my Sidewinder last October. I bought a Cabela's brand boat cover (Size A) and it fits great. I have a one piece mast that sits on top of the boat supported in two places. This gives the cover support down the middle so the rain rolls off. And it's trailerable. -Bradby lewisba - sailmfg
I have a question regarding the rigging of the line to raise and lower the centerboard on a Sidewinder. In the photos section of this website there is a diagram of the centerboard and the description says the material is aluminum. Mine is most definitely steel (it had rust on it before I sanded it down and painted it). Therefore it is quite heavy. Rigged as described in the manual I cannot raby lewisba - sailmfg
I also have a 1972 Sidewinder. The rudder mounts were also loose. I cut an access hole and found the plywood backing to be rotted out. Same for the hiking strap backing. Therefore, the plywood is the original backing material. -Bradby lewisba - sailmfg
Kyle, I had the same problem with my transom. I cut an access panel and used a steel plate as backing. If I can get my hands on some aluminum I'll change it out. I then put a 4" round port cover over the hole I cut. -Bradby lewisba - sailmfg
