THIS BOAT IS TURNKEY! READY TO SAIL A 1983 with Blue Hawaii sails, blue hulls, and a blue tramp. I have been the caretaker of this catamaran for 20 years. Just 2 owners. It has been covered the entire time except when on the lake. My wife says 68 is too old to sail a cat (for her, haha) lost my crew. This boat is a survivor and is in great shape. Spent over $1k last year to replace all of the standing and running rigging. The original tramp was replaced with a mesh tramp and is is great shape. New tires and bearings on the trailer. Mounted on the trailer is a cat box that holds the sails, rudders, daggerboards, trap harnesses, tiller extension, etc. The Hobie 18 has a 28’ - 1” mast with 240 sq ft of sail. It has a fully battened main sail with a full length boom. The jib isn’t battened. It has a draft of 2.5 ft with the daggerboards extended. It weighs 450 lb. It has adjustable mast spreaders and dual trapeze wires. The wires were replaced last year. To help you have the fastest H18 on the water, included in the sale are the “Hobie 18 Assembly Manual” and “The Hobie 18 Performance Manual” by Phil Bergman. The hulls are in great shape with NO soft spots. Looks great on the water. It is tough to let her go. You can’t ship a catamaran. The boat is in Arizona, maybe we can arrange to meet somewhere?
