Re: C1 Remix conversion

Wodza, thanks for that excellent tip! I had been trying to keep the two 25-mm straps neatly next to each other without overlap in the cam lock. But laying them on top of each other under the quick release prevented any noticeable slippage! The nylon strap that I've used has distorted and worn quite ...

Re: C1 Remix conversion

I've had the same problem of the 25mm nylon strapping slip in the quick release. I now lay them on top of each other and close the quick release making sure to give it a good pull while pushing the quick release down. May want to give that a try before switching to an airplane buckle. In another con...

Re: Stern "squirting" in a Cascade C1?

Rand, I like it that you are a fan of the Cascade. I enjoyed my brief stint in the boat. But have you ever tried a modern creekboat conversion for comparison? (I was really happy in my Remix). Is there something in particular about the Cascade design that keeps you coming back?

Re: C1 Remix conversion

My Remix 79 conversion bit the dust this year, but I really enjoyed it while it lasted. It's the only conversion I've done so far. Like you said, I also owe a debt to all those cboaters who posted over the years. You did a ...

Re: C1 Remix conversion

Yes, I glued foam to the rail, cut to shape using the profile of the original rail.

And yes, I find that my feet feel like they'll get stuck. But I've only tried exiting with the hip pads in the she: dry and upright. Wet and upside down will probably make a difference. Any tips?

Re: C1 Remix conversion

That is a very nice conversion.

What did you choose to do about the gap between the hull and the rail? Fill it in with foam, or let it be?

In what way do the hip pads hinder your exit? Are they getting in the way of your feet?

Re: C1 Remix conversion

The knee straps are fixed to the centre rail (visible in the photos) and to the hull, with a bolt in a new hole. I followed Larry Horne's ideas for positioning the knee straps, which are quoted below: "The outer end of the strap needs to be anchored as low as possible and 6" or so behind your knee. ...

Re: C1 Remix conversion

I really like the way the lower knee straps look, however I don't understand what is holding them down if you were to lift your knees. Will it not pull the glue up from the knee pads? I'd like to do something similar in my 4fun is why I ask.


Also that's some really nice outfitting.

Re: C1 Remix conversion

Everything is easier to exit when upside down :D so the hip grabbers might be fine.

Re: C1 Remix conversion

11. Hip grabbers were made using the original aluminium seat-mounting brackets, cutting board, and foam. At the moment, I am too scared to paddle with these because in the shed they make exiting the cockpit very difficult! (Photo M)

Re: C1 Remix conversion

10. Knee spreaders and knee pads were made from foam, and fixed to the hull using velcro to allow for adjustability. The kneepads wrap around the outside of the knee. (Photo J, K, L)

Re: C1 Remix conversion

5. A 50-mm stainless steels cam lock (commonly used on diver’s belts) was bolted on the central spine, near the fore pillar, to receive and fasten the two 25-mm thigh straps but allow quick release for exits. 6. A D-ring was screwed on the central spine near the foremost adjustment point of the seat...

Re: C1 Remix conversion

4. The seat was glued onto a short split section of the downpipe so that it can slide along the central spine for adjustment. There is 100-mm of adjustment, in 25-mm increments, with holes through the seat section to the central rail. (Photos E & F & G)
