Hobie Holder 14 Masts

All,

I've just found a new home here in Charleston for our Fleet (fleet 53). The Hobcaw Yacht Club is a great place to call home. They have a fleet of 5 Holder 14's that we are re-furbishing and we are in need of 3 masts for them! If anyone out there knows where we can pick some up please e-mail me and give me the details. Thanks in advance and have a Hobie day!

This may be long odds but I've had both a Hobie Holder 14 and a Hobie 14 and the mast extrusion might have been the same or seemed very similar...Dan Berger has some extra H14 masts as I recall...if it is the same extrusion you might be able to cut them to fit and re-rivet hardware as needed...

I think there are one or two Holder 14's on the "abandoned boats" row at my sailing club. I just emailed our parking chairman to see what their status is. I know he was planning an auction, to clear out the row. I have no idea what shape it/they are in, but the mast should still be good, even if the hull is water-logged.

I have one. $350. They are not cheap to ship, but if you want I can get a freight quote. I'd need a zip code for a commercial address.

I looked at a Holder one day at the local marina and noticed that it was the same extrusion as the H16. I'm about positive it was a Holder 20 though.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same as the H14 though.

Except that the Holder started out as a non-Hobie product. Hobie bought Holder in the early/mid 80's.
