TonyB Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Will a Hobie 14 main fit a Hobie 16 ? Are there any likely difficulties ? As soon as my son is old enough I'd like to take him out as safely as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterM Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Hi Tony, Yes the Hobie 14 main does fit on the Hobie 16 you just need a strop from the top of the halyard to the sail head and a longer outhaul rope. It is like having 2 reefs in on a Hobie 16 sail not 1 as is able to be put in on older pre-1994 sails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyB Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Thanks Peter. I don't suppose you know the length of the strop needed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darcy1945 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Lay the 14 sail on the 16 and measure the difference, a length of 4 to 6mm spectra would do the job and can be adjusted to length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
