I'm in FL for the summer. Come on down. Just drive south and turn left 😆

Awesome! I sail a Hobie 16 now but may be getting a G-Cat as well soon.

Also, I have heard Fisher Park in Cocoa is a good place to put in. It is busier and costs $5 though.

Yes sir. Right at (28.228107, -80.599391) there is a small path that is wide enough to get a catamaran through on cat trax. It has eroded quite a bit ...

You could also use the cat trax as a modified cart to roll your stuff. Make your own or buy a t-handle for your cat trax and then make some sort of re...

I don't have any experience with storing on a public beach but I always thought that if I did I would store my sails and accessories in a sail tube or...

I haul with an '04 Nissan Xterra. My Hobie 16 is on a trailer with 3 different storage boxes. It has 1 12" sail tube, 1 fiberglass coffin box, and 1 t...

Thanks for your help. I'm still leaning toward the Hobie even if the G-Cat is a much better boat. I just like the established racing class and the end...

I'm glad to see other people are finding this method helpful! I was so pumped when I did the Bar Keepers friend with RMP and it looked so awesome.

Sounds like fun! I'd drive over from Melbourne but I'll be in my first race, the The Kelly Park River Regatta.

It'd be cool if we could start a traveling library of books and DVDs about sailing that people could just pass on to others that are interested but I ...

Reminds me too much of the time I forgot my drain plugs...

The company is called HydroSail. After a quick google search, the company is still around but I couldn't find any dirt on their Hobie 16 product. I ...

This thing has been for sale before. Not sure if it is the exact same one but I remember reading about it somewhere. I'm sure someone on here knows.

Theres stuff called liquid rollers that you can spray on the carpet to make it more slick

Good question. I would guess that this is more of an issue with exact fitting cradles. My new plan (after reading on here) is to use unaltered pvc pip...

Cat Trax - hobie 16/14 - $200 (Flagler Beach) I'm considering picking these puppies up on my way down to Melbourne, FL. Can someone tell me if these ...

I'll definitely post back with my results. The parts are very simple and wouldn't be too difficult to machine something similar. Just a 1" slug with t...

Doesn't seem like anyone knows. I had the same lack of response over at the Hobie forum. I may just give it a go next week. I should be picking up 2 f...

Last picture is a scan of the parts for one rudder. The kit came with 2 sets for 2 rudders.

That'd be me. I've had good luck finding boats and parts from that ad. Yes, Boiler Up! I'm about to finish my Junior year in electrical engineering.Ed...

Just a suggestion for others, I just bought a spare hub for emergencies. My hub only costs $30 at harbor freight and is pretty easy to change on the s...

Too bad it's from NJ. I'll be driving down to central florida in 3 weeks but from Indiana.
