I saw a forum where someone set up their Hobie 16 without a boom. Might have been a kit ? The wave, getaway, some nacras do not have a boom, would this work on a H16 ? Would this be good for us leisure/beginner sailors ? Can it be done ? |

not sayin it can't be done but I have never seen it, the main would have to be recut....no I don't think this would be good for someone starting out |

I guess what I mean is that would no boom make the boat more forgiving to sail ? |

Not sure about the 16. but I tried my 17 without it, using the boomlet. New Hobie sails has a rope to let you do it. I did not like it. Sail shape was bad and no way to control mast rotation. Just my 2 cents, Doug |
