Can anyone tell me if a Hobie 14 and Hobie 16 boom are the same length and how far from the end of the boom does the bale for the mainsheet block go on a Hobie 14 boom. Thanks |

They are not the same length, the 14 is shorter, but they are the same profile. So a 16 boom could be cut down to be used on a 14. Not sure on the bale measurement and I don’t have a 14 boom handy at the moment. You could get it close enough by rigging the boat and then positioning the bale so that the upper block is a few inches behind the rear crossbar. You just want the blocks to force the boom forward slightly when sheeting in. This will ensure that the mast rotates properly. sm |

Measurements from my H14 boom: Total extrusion length (not counting end caps): 96 in. Aft bale (where 6:1 blocks are attached): Rivets centered 24 in. from aft end of extrusion. Forward bale: Rivets centered 28.5 in. from aft end of extrusion. Aft rivet for outhaul jam cleat centered 30 in. from aft end of extrusion. |
