[quote=DamonLinkous][quote=drmanhattan]Hello all,
Very excited to have acquired a new to me H16! Im keen to start sailing as a novice and have a few questions Im hoping you all can help answer! pictures included![/quote]
Welcome to TheBeachcats.com, I'm sure our Hobie 16 experts will show up soon.
Do you know what year your Hobie is? There are numbers etched in the fiberglass at the stern beside the rudder castings that tell the model and year of manufacture.
What area will you be sailing? Might find some locals here to help in person.
Have you assembled the boat and raised the mast yet? Sounds like you haven't, so may not have all the pieces, luckily Hobie 16's have less parts to lose than most beachcats.
Lastly, that boom looks nasty, but can be used. I don't know how a black anodized boom got that bad unless it was stored with that end in a tub of salt water. :evil:[/quote]
