I am looking for information on shipping Hobie Cats in a shipping container. Any information would be greatly appreciated. The questions that I have are. (& I know there are some questions I need answers to but don't know it yet. )

The standard shipping containers are 20 feet or 40 feet.
1- What masts will fit in a 20 foot container?
2- What masts if any break down into 2 pieces? I think the H18 does.
3- does anyone have any advice on stacking 2, 3 or 4 hobies in a container?

Thanks
Bob

1- Wave? 2-Wave? Not H 18. 3-Post on the Hobie Forums. Matt Miller can answer all your questions.

I don't have the boats yet, but will purchase them based on what I find out about fitting them into a container. The masts for all the boats are too long for A 20 foot container, I think. Ideally I'm talking about H16 or larger, up to 21 foot. 2 or 3 boats.

thanks
