Any way we can get a hand on the technical drawing for the Wave backrest kit?

Would like to buy it from a dealer but seem the be BO for a while and not sure if this will be in production again. Decided to build my own locally.

Thanks

JF

The Wave backrests are not going to be built by Hobie. All sailboat production was moved to Starting Line Sailing (ZIM Sailing). This item had become unavailable years ago due to a loss of the vendor who used to bend the tubing. There is no drawing available.

That is unfortunate. I am now looking for someone that own a kit that can provide me detailed measurment so I can 3d model it and found a manufacturer in my area to make it. Any volonters?

Thanks

I need approx measurements to be able to reverse engineering a drawing. I will validate critical measurements on my own Wave to ensure perfect assembly. Pictures on different angles might help as well for sure.

Thanks

Hey JF...just wondering if you ever got the info you were chasing for the backrests? I'm curious about making a set for myself too, given I can't find any locally.

I did not get anything unfortunately. I put the project on hold for now. If ever I dive into it I will share what I found with pleasure.
