Hobie Revo - Sail UPGRADES - 2014 Revo 13

Upgrades to the sailing setup on the Revo 13.
Main sheet line runs from the rear up along the Port side (away from the paddle etc), across the front of the foot well, into a new jam cleat (clam cleat) on the Starboard side. Furling line now runs through a double block (up front), to a single block by the seat, all now on the Port side, SO MUCH BETTER than oem setup, with those stupid double rook thing (that the furling lines just pop out of all the time...)
The new lines (shock cord) on the outriggers/amas are still to be tested. If you have ever sailed with these amas with wind/swell, they tend to spin around and go upside down (little never racking sometimes), hopefully the new lines will help prevent this or help to right the amas.
I'll post more info and how it worked soon.
If anyone needs more photos or more info, please comment.




Hopefully those images uploaded..

I have just spent an enjoyable 20 minutes tracing through how you have done everything. Attention to detail is outstanding -- as indicated by the measuring tape on the paddle! Impressive mainsheet and furling line setups.

Useful share. Thanks.

Thanks.
Just spent some time out on the water today. Worked really really well, very happy.

Whilst out yesterday, my wife's Revo 11 amas came/poped out of the hull - thus she ended up in the drink.
We had head to the beach to fix the miss (sail was out), if we were out (deep) that would of been a real drama.

Over the next week (or two) I will be re-installing her ama centre bar up front of her Revo the same as my Revo 13.

Few benefits to installing the amas up front, such as getting to install washers and bolts on the inside of the hull to stop the main bar poping off AND being able to stop the main centre bar from spinning in the clamps due to not being able to tighten the bolts enough. You can also see if the amas spin around.

Anyways photos, updates will be coming soon.

I see you have bought the sail sheet forward from the stern to the rear hatch and used a pulley. How is that working out?

I am due to upgrade to the newer Rev 13 and looking forward to seeing how you setup works, esp in seas with breaking waves.

Revolution 13 with sail & AMAs.

So far it is working perfect. We had 1m swell on the weekend with waves at times breaking over the bow. No issues so far.
I'll post more info/photos soon.

I am interested in install the Hobie sidekick upfront like you.

Can you let me know where to get those extra plate/washer/bolt to use in your front installation ?
Home Depot or Hobie store ?
Thanks.

I went to my local Marine shop and got 316 bolts, nuts, washers. I just took the brackets with me.
