Hi,

Need send off an online order for a longer line for the hobie sail kit. The line that came with kit works fine in in the cleat on my Revo. Want to order line with same diameter as original.
Thanks

Make sure you get enough line (the std Hobie sheet is a bit on the short side for the Adventure/Revo 16 if you do as I do and lead the sheet forward past the helmsman and back to hand via a turning block). Also be cautious about getting a thinner rope for the sheet - a thin rope can become very tiring to hold if you have to grip it tightly for long periods of time.

I would use something that you can grip, so dacron is good.
