| Post subject: | Help with rigging on an old Hobie |
I bought a 1978 Hobie 16 and downloaded the Hobie 16 Assembly manual (copyright 1980) from the web site - but there are some differences. The manual shows a mast tang with two holes, but my mast tang only has one hole. Where does the shackle holding the trapeze wires go? The manual shows the large shackle with 3 wires: the 2 shrouds and the forestay (which appears to consist of an upper pig-tail and a lower forestay). However, my large shackle has 4 wires in it: 2 shrouds, a full-length forestay, and a pig-tail attached to the jib block (with no lower forestay). What's up with this? Is there any place I could get the appropriate manual for my 1978 Hobie 16? Thanks. |

Single eye mast tang. (left to right) trapwire, shoud, forestay, jib halyard, shroud, trapwire. If you don't know how old the rigging is, both standing and running I would consider replacing them. I would get in contact with someone from fleet 20 or fleet 240 I'm sure they would help you out. both fleets are having fun sails on weekends. Or a hobie dealer in your area. Todd |
