I've just joined this list, so good morning from sunny St. Thomas USVI.
As of a couple of days ago, I am the proud owner of a very old, dilapidated, much neglected and partially complete Hobie 16 (the good news I was given it).
I am not confident of the integrity of the rigging and would like to make some (I would next door to a rigging shop and can get done for the right price). Can anyone provide a link for the measurements of all of the rigging - BTW, this will be for fun use - not to race, so I am not concerned about class rules.
Also I am in the market for some sails, links for good used or a cheap source for new would be appreciated.
Finally (for now at least) and apologies if this is sacrilage, but are there any options for rigging the 16 without a boom, I sailed Dart 18s for years and enjoyed the simplicity.
Thanks in advance for any help, Glen.
