I am 200 miles from my Hobie so I cant get measurements of the lines I have now....does anyone else have them? If I wanted to replace the trampoline, trapeze bungies/lines, jib/main sail lines, lines to raise the sails, any anything else on there.....where should I get them? Anyone have lengths/thicknesses? What kind should I get?

Sorry still learning so forgive me for the poor terminology.

Keven,

The Hobie catalog pages that Matt pointed out have most of the info you asked for. The lengths seem to be there, but the rope diameters are a bit hard to discern on some of the items. It seems that the part number contains the size, like for the main sheet there is a 38 near the end of the part number, and that is 3/8" rope. Some of the others are 316=3/16" but to make sure, maybe someone else can chime in.

I also didn't see anything for the jib sheet on that page. I recently replace mine with 40' of 5/16" line. I had a few feet left over when I measured the new rope against the one I took off the boat.

I found some decent prices and got quick delivery on lines here http://www.defender.com/

Hope that helps.

Chad

Jib sheet is listed next to the jib... JIB SHEET LINE RM516XXX X 32'

Yes, diameter is in the part number. Jibsheet is typically 5/16", but stock is smaller these days. Closer to 1/4".

Awesome!! Thanks for the posts, especially the last one. Here it is copied and pasted for next time around

HOBIE 16
Mainsheet Line (6:1) 3/8" Spun Braid x 44' 1 ea.
Jibsheet Line 5/16" Spun Braid x 32' 1 ea.
Main Halyard-Non Comptip 3/16" Halyard x 27' 1 ea.
Jib Halyard Line 3/16" Halyard x 20' 1 ea.
Outhaul Line 3/16" Halyard x 7' 6" 1 ea.
Downhaul Line 3/16" Halyard x 5’ 1 ea.
Center Tramp Lace 1/4" Halyard x 19' 1 ea.
Aft Tramp Lacing Line 1/4" Halyard x 15' 2 ea.
Trapeze Shockcord 1/4" Shockcord x 7' w/2 Loops 1 ea.
Trapeze Adjustment 1/4" Halyard x 3'6" 2 ea.
Batten Tie 1/12" Flag Halyard x 1'6" 8 ea.

Im going to go ahead and order all of this stuff....but isnt 44 feet of mainsheet line way too much? Also, does anyone have a picture of how the jib attaches? I cant seem to get it right.

Which lines did you order from defender? There are a bunch of different types.

Nope, not at 6:1 pullys. And you use it for the traveller too. I used 50' for my H17.

I got the XLS yacht braid for my jib sheet. I was going to go a bit less expensive, but my wife (and crew) picked the XLS for her jib sheet.

The other lines you have to decide if the lower stretch of the more expensive lines is necessary, and worth it. For example, a main halyard need not be ultra low stretch line since it is not under load when the boat is rigged, so if it stretches it wont change the way the boat is rigged. On the other hand, the jib halyard is under load while the boat is rigged, so a low stretch line would be desirable.

Its a balance between cost of the line and what they are worth to you and your boat. And there is no set type of line, its your boat, you get to choose.

Hope that helps.

I ordered the LIROS, Magic Sheet, 7mm, direct from Hobie for my jib sheet (that's what they put on the new 16's). I made the mistake of finding a great deal on a 1/4" line, with one of its many listed uses as jib sheet, and continually received complaints. I fixed that by going straight to the source. Haven't heard a complaint since.

I have New England, SALSA, 9mm, for the main. The more I use it the softer it gets.

I've figured out that the sheets are like shoes. If they're uncomfortable, it's going to make for a long day.

Hmmm ok ok......so how do I know what is low stretch and what will feel good in the hands?I see the line you bought goes for 89 cents a foot, if its a difference of say $30 bucks I dont mind paying the difference if it is nicer line. I just have no idea what to look for and what lines need to be low stretch. What would you recommend for replacing all the lines?

Also, while I have all you guys in here......does anyone have any suggestions /links to illustrate how to cut all these lines and what to do with the ends to keep them from splicing?
