[quote=DamonLinkous][quote=bobsaxet]I'm new to the forum and have a new to me '81 H18SX. [/quote]
Also, just to use the correct terminology. You really can't have a 1981 Hobie 18SX although you can have a 1981 Hobie 18 with SX or Magnum wings. The SX model was introduced in 1987 and included not just the longer SX wings but also an 18 inch taller mast, vertical cut sails, and optional spinnaker.
I have a 1992 Hobie 18SE
(SE means "Special Edition" which Hobie labeled the 16's and 18's with black anodized beams and mast)
with added SX wings. I consider my boat an 18 Magnum because there is no other name for a Hobie 18 with SX wings.
