The Hobie Hotline has a nice write-up on fixing up hulls. Quote: Rick Buchanan has created a great series in the Hotline called “This Old Hobie”. The articles go back to the March/April 2008 Hotline. https://www.hobie.com/hobie-cat-racing/
I suggest looking up in the Hotline achieves: Spraying Gelcoat (July August 2008) and the Gelcoat chipps & Dings (May/June 2009). If the damage is large enough; check out the Blind Hole Repair article (HotLine May/Jun 2008). |

Am I missing something? The link in the quote that Matt shared only lists Hotline issues up to 1995. How do we access the referenced "This Old Hobie" articles from 2008 & 2009? |

You have to go to the Wolverine site which archives the later articles when the Hobie Class Association / Matt Bounds took over publishing it. http://www.w1dm.com/Projects/HOTLINE/Hotline.html sm |
