I bought a new Hobie Bravo one year ago. I'm wondering...is there a rule of thumb for how frequently the various lines should be replaced? I've sailed it about eight times and it was stored out in the sun for two months but has otherwise been under a tarp.

your main sheet will be fine for years to come. When the line becomes brittle and stiff then replace it. I wish it was like standing rigging, which is every 2 years, but the bravo is maintenance free. The only reason to return to the dealer is for new t-shirts!
