new to hobie cat sailing but old to sailing smaller boats. ok here is the question after checkng the vin number it turns out i got a 1980 hobie cat 16 and i am familure with all the rigging but one. the jib line cleats are on a "thingie" that can be moved closer or further from the mast (left/ right) here is the dumb question what does the different positions aftualy do? i have messed with the 2 ferthest points (in and out) and not realy noticed much difference. any clue my eyes have glazed over form surching the web. thanks all |

Closer to the mast and left alone for many people, but if you want to actually use it... Closest to the mast for upwind. A little further out in high winds. All the way out for down wind sailing. |
