Reply to: Go Fast Goodies for a NEW Hobie 16

[quote=tami]They may have improved these things on the newer H16, but the things we used to do were: STIFFEN THE BOAT. That means to glue up the corner castings to the pylons: ergo flip the boat, square it up, and pour epoxy into the corner castings. Another thing we used to do is to use a real heavy bungee to lace up the trampoline such that the sidebars bent in some. The bungee allows a real tight lacing and keeps even tension as one moves around on the trampoline. DECENT RUDDERS. Get EPOs. I think that Hobie now calls them "racing rudders' or some such DECENT JIB TRAVELLER. Bungeed between the cars such that they move inboard automatically, and the pins removed for smooth movement. The newer boats have different rigs as I understand, you may have that already fixed for ya MAX LEGAL DOWNHAUL MAX LEGAL MAINSHEET PURCHASE. Get some nice Harken blocks with good smooth line. TOB. Time On the Boat, which is more important than all the above...<!-- editby --><em>Edited by tami on Jun 04, 2011 - 08:05 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
