| Post subject: | H16 Rake |
I have a 26 year old H16 and she flies. Recently I have purchased new halyards and shrouds as mine were wearing a little ragged. The new Jib Forestay is 3.5 inches longer than my original. I am told by the distributor that over the past 15 years Hobie has determined that a greater Rake on the mast is the way to go and has been making these forestays longer for quite a while. Really? Just wondering if this truely is the case. Thanx in advance. |

This is correct, they made the fore stay longer and shrouds shorter. The boat will point better and have less tendency to pitch pole!! Welcome to the new era of H16 sailing. You might also want to consider upgrading to a set of low profile blocks to get even more mast rake! Thanks, Brad Stephens www.sunjammers.com <-----= online store coming soon!!
