While looking throught the Hobie 16 brochure I see under optional features that a racing package is listed. What is included included in the "Racing Package"?

Thanks in advance.

This is no longer an issue on the 16. Fiberglass rudders are now standard. That was the major item in the kit. Other items were rail non-skid and a bridle vane I think.

My dealer lists the Racing Package as:

Carbon Rudders (EPO)
Carpet Kit
E-Z Rite
Bridle Fly

All for $495.00

That is not a "Factory" kit, but an assortment designed by the dealer.

Unless you are seriously into the racing, stay away from the EPO rudders these are exteremely fragile. The factory stock rudders are fine.

Yeah, but the black EPOs look so cool! :)

Thanks for the info concerning the EPO rudders. I do plan to go to a few of the regattas in the Northwest but will use a stock boat. Thanks again.

If you have some, you have to baby them. They are worth there weight in GOLD!!!! Not like the new ones. I have covers for mine and never trailer with them.
