Wings or Trapeze...Or Both  Bottom

  • I hoist my boat in the water via crane and have to paddle perilously close to steel pilings and motorboats. I'm thinking I shouldn't use the wings on my Hobie 18 cause of extra beam and complications when hoisting the boat in, but I could be wrong. What are a good used set of magnum wings worth?

  • yes, the sailors in my fleet who have 18's all have wings. in fact they tell me that they wouldn't sail a 18 with out them anymore.

    I sail an 18, but I race it, so I held off on the wings. But I do have a set in my garage waiting for the day when I'm ready to put them on.

  • I decided to sell them to a Chicago 18 sailor, he made an offer I couln't refuse, now for better sails...oh the cyclical process of throwing money into the water, aint it fun icon_biggrin

    If you don't go with Hobie sails from your local dealer, make sure and checkout the http://www.WhirlwindSails.com
    the sails in my Avatar are their SuperR Pentax model, I've also got a set of the Dacron RadilaX design which are really nice. pic
