Hello
I am looking to buy my first boat ever (2009 Wave) and all looks good. The sail looks good but a few of the plastic white grommet plates (on the sail) are cracked and one plate is missing. Can these be replaced? It appears that the plates are riveted
Take Care
Joey

Hi Joey
I don't really know that boat/sail but ...
if you mean the plastic jib batten end piece - yes they are easily purchased and replaced
either by screw or rivet
you can find all the parts at any hobie dealer or online
here is a thread about a few different versions for that boat

I am talking about the white part about 5' about these sailor's heads up the mast (luff)

The “This Old Hobie” article in his edition of the Hobie Hotline should have everything you need to know about replacing luff protectors on a Hobie sail.
