That is a pretty nice looking trailer. I agree that it looks like an I20 stick, but I do not see a spin hoist point on it as you might expect for a re...

I cannot comment on that mast taking that or not, seems your weight is reasonable. Is that mast a wing section? I believe I have 1.8mm soft trap line...

An old triek is to put fabric softener in the tires to seal up small holes.

Do some planning when you stick it down, . The material will stretch some to help around complex curves. When your down, its good to roll everything...

In my opinion that damage is the result of not having a compression sleeve in there. Looks like the beam was sandwhiched around the DS. You NEED that ...

Does not look like a hot deal to me. It's very unlikely the seller has any idea what the true condition of the sails are.

Our Hobie getaway was truly a nice boat for its intended purpose. Simple, comfortable at the trade of speed and performance. That said, it was a wild/...
