The colors look off - like it's new knock-off, but that could just be the photos. Some of the close ups show a sail that's seen better days. There is no sailmaker patch - that's the definitive indication. Sometimes the patch has come off, leaving an unfaded area that's that right size/shape so that you'd know it was a Hobie Sail. That one does have the correct fittings (batten end caps, head plate) of a stock sail of that vintage (late '70s early '80s). The seller it is the guy that started the new fleet in Utah. |

I asked him the question, via eBay Quote: Dear raulh7814, who's the manufacturer of the sails? what loft? - fleet297john Quote: Dear fleet297john, In my response I stated IMO, I'd edit the ad to reflect the fact they're NOT Hobie sails.
