[quote=melber96]Hi all. I bought a nice 1984 Hobie 16 with pretty much a stock set-up. It has a single trapeze system which is original equipment. I've been doing a lot of reading to supplement my limited experience but still can't figure out how the whole shock-cord system etc. releases the sailor in the event of a capsize or sudden pitchpole. I asked the previous owner but he couldn't explain it either. I haven't used the trapeze yet as I want to have this nagging question figured out first! Thanks in advance to any advisors out there.
One more question for the pros...I'm still having the boat stop dead in irons sometimes in the middle of coming about. Gybing is easier. Does anyone have any good advise or articles to suggest ? :-? [/quote]
