darcy1945 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Mark, is your hobie, cat rigged, (Main only) or Turbo (Main, jib, trapeze). Do you only want rudder blades or complete assemblies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyquoll Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 There' some diagrams and tips in the Hobie 14 manual (2Mb): http://www.hobie-cat.net/download/manuels/hc14-std-race_gb.pdf Also check out the Hobie sailing catalog (17Mb): http://www.hobiecat.com.au/pdf/sailing/HobieSailParts.pdf The recommended boom block is a Harken 2640 (triple 40mm) $117 : http://catsailor.net/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=36_54_66&product_id=129 The recommended traveler block is a Harken H194, but I think these are no longer made and the go is a Harken 2630 (57 mm Triple Carbo Ratchamatic w/Cam, Becket) $307 :http://catsailor.net/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=36_54_68&product_id=112 The catalogs show a pathetic 2:1 downhaul on the H14, but check p.29 of the Hobie sailing catalog, where a "powerpack" for H16 is listed. It seems to suggest a H228 (micro triple) $43 on the boom, http://catsailor.net/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=36_54_60&product_id=85 and H231 (micro triple with becket & cam-cleat) $96 at the mast base. http://catsailor.net/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=36_54_60&product_id=88 These could be mounted on swivel shackles so they rotate towards you, and you can operate them from either side of the boat. You could instead rig the downhaul like we do on Paper Tiger cats, with a swivel cleat each side of the mast (Riley PYF102 $45 x2=$90) , a 2:1 at the mast base (Harken226 $30) and 3:1 at the boom (Harken228 $43): http://www.papertigercatamaran.org/images/media/downhaul_-_dual_tail_12_to_1.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
