I'm seeking the advice of this all knowing forum. Is there a sight that list recommended type, and size of all cordage for my, new to me, Hobie 16. 😎 Seems that close line was good enough for the previous owner. Some new line will jazz it up a bit as well. One last closing thought...Do you folks ever name the boat?
i would suggest the hobie site. they have a great forum

Thanks Folks for the dope on the rope...So no one names there cats? 🙄
Yes some people name their cats... Boots... Whiskers, Diablo... etc
Others even name their boats.... but there is a law of nature that says if you ever try to change the name of a boat without the proper voodoo, Moho, and other rituals... you will fall off the ends of the earth... die a horrible flaming death,.... and go to hell and have to listen to Madonna's "lucky star" for eternity.
So naming must be done with forethought and without ever changing it...
