Seems that close line was good enough for the previous owner. Some new line will jazz it up a bit as well. One last closing thought...Do you folks ever name the boat?

I'm seeking the advice of this all knowing forum. Is there a sight that list recommended type, and size of all cordage for my, new to me, Hobie 16. Seems that close line was good enough for the previous owner. Some new line will jazz it up a bit as well. One last closing thought...Do you folks ever name the boat?

Yes some people name their cats... Boots... Whiskers, Diablo... etc
Others even name their boats.... but there is a law of nature that says if you ever try to change the name of a boat without the proper voodoo, Moho, and other rituals... you will fall off the ends of the earth... die a horrible flaming death,.... and go to hell and have to listen to Madonna's "lucky star" for eternity.
So naming must be done with forethought and without ever changing it...
