Great Day, broken rigging

This is the first good day of wind at my lake. I had a really fast couple of runs. One so fast, when I came about the sail whipped around and pulled the swivel cam right out of the track. The roller bottom is destroyed.

I limped back to the mooring, tied up, dried off and pondered the end of my season.

"Stars and Stripes" no more..her name is "Rio"

Hey evreybody!

After much discussion with my friends in and around the Hobie community I have decided not to repaint the white hulls of my '88 Turbo 14 in the America's Cup yacht "Stars & Stripes" paint scheme. The hulls are in mint condition and don't even have any scratches, so there would be no reason to repaint them.

New Hobie parts!

Hey everyone!

Today is Christmas for me!! I ordered some cool Hobie Cat stuff for the "Yellow Cat" from my local Hobie dealer, Time Out Sports here in Chucktown. Here's what I got:

Anti-pitch pole hydrofoils- I can't wait to try them out!
Mast Stepper 2 and winch- make my life easier.
Main sheet overboard protector for my trampoline- yes, because I AM that lazy!
and a wind indicator- mounts under my turbo jib furller.

Well, it's not much but any new stuff for the cat is awesome! take care all… Continue

Get out of the water?

I just received my first Hobie Cat. I live in a lake community where everyone who has a boat, but does not have lakefront keeps their boats "in" all season. I am getting advice that I need to get OUT of the water. Why is that?
