I have a new comptip and a used one that I managed to get out of a bent mast. The new one is about 6 inches longer than the used one and the part that fits into the mast is longer, too. Does anyone know when and why they were changed?? |

CompTip lengths on the 16? The original retrofit (1985) was a little shorter. The idea was for easier retrofitting, but that was quickly canceled. The original ones had the mast cut off about a foot higher than the shroud tang. They did not require removing the tang. They installed with sealant and a screw / bolt. They were wobbly and different from production. Within a very short time the retrofits became what they are now. Another post: http://www.hobiecat.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=2737 |

They are both 16 comptips. That sounds right because the used one I have came off of an '80s boat. I guess that's just another piece of Hobie trivia to store away!! Thanks Matt! |

Matt, I recently purchased a 1974 H-16 with the original mast. Is the factory offer for a reduced price for comptips still available? Art Sacramento |

Unfortunately, the Coleman Company (Owners of Hobie Cat during the change over) canceled the program after about 15 years of free retrofits. We offer the tips at a reduced price now for retrofits. See your dealer to order one. Be sure to let them know it is for a first time retrofit. http://www.hobiecat.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=78 |
