I had a nice little soft cooler that would clip on the tramp lacing on my last Hobie 16, ten years ago. Now I can't seem to find one anywhere. Is anyone sitting on an extra or know where they can be found? I'm going on vacation in a couple weeks and really need something to keep the beer cool. Thanks, Jay |

Go to walmart and their camping section, they are not made for Hobies but they work wonders and will keep stuff cool all day. |

That's a great idea! Why didn't I think of it? It's difficult finding one that lays flat and opens on top like the Hobie one. Jay |

I have yet to find a good location for the cooler on a 16. If it's on the dolphin striker it gets smashed by waves and it is in a horrible location to get at. If it's on the tramp the jib sheets get caught in it. I think the only good solution is port holes, but so far haven't gotten up the energy or the money to do that... Let me know if you have a good solution!:) |

I don't know how you think you can't find a good spot for a cooler. Those tramps on the 16 are huge!! I had my first ride on a Hobie 16 today and let me tell you it felt spacious compared to my Nacra. I didn't know what to do with all the room. |

I found a cooler at Wally World that will work after I sew on some clips to keep it on the tramp. It's a little tall, but will hold enough drinks for a full afternoon of sailing. I used to keep my old one clipped on right behind the mast on the tramp and didn't have any problems as I remember. The one I just bought has a neat feature, no zipper! It has a hard liner and lid with a velcro flap. Good for one handed beer grabbing! Kind of off topic, but it is possible to "Heave to" a hobie 16 to have a fast lunch? |
