Looking for a jib for my Getaway. I sold the H16 jib I've been using (without the battens) and need like to replace it before sailing season. Are aftermarket jibs worth it or should I just spend the $$ and order one from Hobie? Thanks, Bill in NH |

After 16 years of sailing my getaway I finally replaced my jib. Got the standard turquoise jib from hobie and am VERY happy with it. It's given the boat a new lease of life and looks good too. |

If you race at all, you'll need the stock Hobie. But if you just have fun the aftermarket will perform pretty much like the stock. There's not much magic in a jib with defined head, tack and sheet points. Lengths are defined, fabric is dacron, camber is pretty much gonna be 10%....check your forestay while you are doing this; you might want a new one. |
