| Post subject: | Hobie 16 square top main |
Aloha Gang , I recently purchased a square top Main ( super R ) from Chip at whirlwind, It may have been a little impetuous as I really don't know how I am going to attach it to my boom , Chip assured Me it shouldent be that difficult and many have already done so , but as the delivery date nears I'm still wondering about the details of attaching my new Main which doesent slip in to the boom like a classic 16 sail should , Has anybody in here done this ? Or does anyone have any pictures you could share of a good way to rig this ? Any help would be appreciated. |

It may not really matter, but your subject line indicates we're discussing a H16 while this is the H14 forum. I'd first seek further explanation from Chip. I expect that the sail would have to be specifically designed and reinforced in certain areas in order to be rigged loose-footed or boomless. You may also want to do some searching for Dan Berger's posts (and maybe pix) over on thebeachcats.com forums. He ran a tricked out H14 w/squaretop for a while. For future reference, when you get this resolved please let us know it works. Thanks and good luck! |

Mahalo for your feedback ,,, not really sure how to get this to post on the 16 forum , but point well taken , I did talk to Chip though and actually there is a over sized clew that actually does slide in to the boom , while the foot remains free and the tack is attached much like that of an 18' , a few details to work out but once I have the Sail I think it's going to be awesome , thanks again for your feedback. |
