Hobie wave jib setup  Bottom

  • We have a hobie wave that's a rental at work. The boat had a jib at one point and would like to get it back on. The boss doesn't want to really spend money as he doesn't really think we need it. All I need is the bow spreader bar. I have some old tillar crossbars. Will these work or is the spreader bar heavier construction?

  • You will need
    Jib and jib halyard
    Jib blocks and jib sheet
    Bow spreader pole and Tangs for bow spreader pole
    misl nuts and bolts and shackles
  • We have several waves also and I tried a Jib on one.....add little if any performance and is just more parts to break. I know it would be nice to make those little tug boats faster but I am afraid you may be wasting time on a Jib.

  • Thanks for the info. I have everything else that I need except the spreader bar. I think that's where my boss is at with it, plus he says it'll be more prone to pitch pole
  • The jib will make tacking one heck of a lot easier
