Yes, almost certainly. But those sails are whacked. Dirty, patched, blown out and going on 40 years old. They need to be retired - permanently. |

These are "Flamer" colors from around 1980-81. I have a set clean set and love the look. |

About as nostalgic and collectible as this 1976 Chevrolet Chevette:Just think - they're the same age! Not to argue ;but any Hobie is more collectible than than a Chevette. Also if a 77 Hobie 16 has been kept in reasonable condition then it should sail quite well. I Was at a Hobie university event and Jeff Alter was the guest expert, he kinda shocked a lot of hard core racers when he told them his family has 3 or so Hobie 16's where they live in Idaho and they are all 70's vintage 16's, and they have a ball sailing those boats. His point was you do not have to have a new boat to have a lot of fun. |
