Hey Guys
Im just about to purchase my first Hobie online, i would prefer to buy a 16 but a 14 would be great to!

i just need some help identifying this boat, it is listed as a 14 however it looks like the sails are from a 16.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Conor

That would be a Hobie 16. 1981 or so vintage with what looks like the Gonzo sail colors.

Great thanks for that.

I was a bit unsure. I'm hoping it's not a 14 with a set of 16 sails for some reason...
it's just a 5-hour drive away to pick it up

Cheers

Its a 16 based on the forward crossbar hardware and bridle attachments...
