Ok, my 81 Hobie 16 is starting to bug me in a few ways, so maybe someone can point me in the right direction. -When I got the boat, the blocks for the jib travelers were all broken and now are not there period. I need the link to any info on replacing and rigging them. -My carpeting has all come of so I would like to replace with something that I can get locally, as I am in Canada and do not want to deal with exchange and customs. What do I use and what adhesives work best. -What is the link to the pylon gluing information, as I will need to redo this. Thanks, Ben |

I can only reply to #1 here, but you can pick whatever jib blocks you like best (Murray's or Hobie catalogs, they're both basically the same) and installing them is a snap! The inboard side of the traveler track has a cap held on by a single screw. Take it out and slide out the old cleat and install the new one. Put back the cap. Repeat on the other side. Good luck and have fun! |

Indoor, out door from any HomeDepotish type place with contact cement seems to work for the carpet stuff. |

Ok, thanks for the info but my entire block plate is gone. I will just try to get something from a Canadian distributor. I was pretty surte that the carpet was an easy fix but I wasn't sure. |

I am pretty sure I have a set of tracks and maybe event the blocks off an old (mid 70s) 16. I'll check tomorro. You can have them for an arm and a leg plus shipping 
No, just kidding. I'll check out behind the shed on the Hobie pile and see if I have the stuff. cw |

I mean the cleats for the traveler control. One is green and one is red. I also don't have the the little blocks that go on the corner casting. The tracks are there and so are my jib blocks, it's the slider blocks (pulleys) and cleats I need. I hope we are on the same wave length. It would be all the stuff that you order when you get Hobies traveler kit. Thanks for all of your help though. I would be more than happy to pay the shipping and costs to get these parts used. |
