I am looking for a Hobie 16 manual where I can see the photographs clearly. I am pleased that Hobie.com has the manual for download on their website, but the photographs are really muddy.
Thanks,
A

i had purchased a h16 and h18 manual back in the day when i owned each boat (10 years ago for the h16) and the printed versions were not very good at all either. i doubt they are any better than a pdf from the hobie website... probably the same or worse (degradation from the mass printing methods used) -

Why catamaran manufacturers don't use "You tube" I'll never understand. They do use it to promote a new cat, but why not use it to show newbies how to:
Rig a cat
Tune a cat
sail a cat
A video is WAY better than a diagram or written instructions. -

Here's a manual in .pdf format. The pics are much clearer and it's multilingual.

It's not so easy to watch a video at the beach.. you can carry a manual.
