Hello everyone,

I recently bought a HC 16 and I can't wait to sail. I've a little experience with sailboat but haven't sail and set up a HC 16 yet. I live in the North of New Jersey. Anybody here want to give me lessons before I go to the water? I would like to learn how to prepare the boat and make sure I have all the stuff that I need.
Thank you.

I strongly recommend that you watch Matt Miller's Hobie 16 Set Up video. It can be found on you tube and contains a wealth of helpful information.

I am searching for the mast setup guide.
About taking the mainsail halyard and measuring the back of trampoline or something...

I know it is out there, I already saw it somewhere...but where...
The matt miller video does not explain it.
If someone knows where to search...

(My main problem is that I can not point high at all...)

Here is Matt’s set up video. But there are also a ton of others. They all show a little different techniques.
