+1 For Slo. Looks like 99% positive in recent years. Bought a great hobie 16 tramp and wing tramps for my Magnum wings a few years later. They were m...

For that kind of trailering, setup time and long way to the beach, why not just buy a Hobie 16 ect for solo days and take the 18 out when you've got c...

Hobie 20's are going for cheap now.... $2000 - $5000 depending on year/condition/sails. I went to one after my 16 and solo it under 10mph @ 200#. with...

Works good for me, iPhone 5s.

I'm watching this big time too. I'm really hoping to see some good footage from the boats as well as a possible drone overview of starts and finishes....

I've saved several capsizes going downwind when gusts hit by going deeper downwind AND sheeting/traveling in some to let the wind behind me slice its ...

Yes, worked great. Keep in mind it's the 200HP supercharged manual 6 speed version. Had no trouble towing a hobie at all, Even my Hobie 20 miracle a f...

Thank you Philip, Mark Ederer is an amazing sailor and team player not to mention a great guy ( his son too ) I do Slip to Ship and Island hop every y...

More distance = Bigger car = lower mpg. Under 2-3 hrs drive? I used my MINI Cooper S for years and still got 30+ mpg on the highway going 70mph or les...

As long as the wings are easy to take off when you need to (racing/big surf) there's no down side. If your wife/GF wants to sail with you the wings ar...

My 20 has the cleat on the traveler. Don't care for it that way at all. When its really windy the traveler moves inboard as you sheet in and it's hard...

Gulf Hills Hotel & Conference Center. Their normal rates are $109-129/night. After fees, taxes and misc you' mightbe looking at $150.Camping is a good...

We normally just rent a nice house in OS for 4-5 days during S2S ~ $90 a night. I've found a normally $60 hotel room gets jacked up to $120 a night wh...

Assuming you find a good set of hobie 18 hulls, you could probably completely design and build a custom 18 footer for less than $4000 thats lighter an...

This thread is getting so dumb............ best bet ( and cheaper ) is to spend $ 80 a month with a personal trainer to condition you to "haul"your b...

If you invest in Catrax beach wheels, you will be investing in something that will work everywhere. Reinvent the wheel on something that's not going t...

Um.... Trampoline was made out of wood. Hahahahaha

It's really gonna be difficult to out do CatTrax for less than the real deal. I know a guy who must have spent weeks of work and a lot of money on bui...

My GF and I love our Hobie 20 for sailing 2 and w 4 people. Its a high performance boat but you can drastically reduce the rigging to a simple 2way ji...

Looks like server is down... Might be Damon sprucing the site up! :-O

We ARE coming back to life. Fleet 134 ..... 3 new hobie 16's this year alone that are very pumped up. Three new last year to add. We're up to about ni...

The guy was injured badly, learned his lesson.... no need to beat him up about it. I'm sure his only concern at the time was worrying about a 1300 pou...

I'll keep my eye's peeled for a late model 90's rear beam for ya, i'm on various classifieds daily 😉 Rob Patt might have a nice one in his back yard!...

This guy solo rights his Hobie 18 pretty easily. Unrolling and attaching righting pole in rough choppy windy conditions looks like it would take quite...

I can't see how to release the catch otherwise? Rudder locking cams? I use my main sheet. Lift up the tiller crossbar throw a loop of slack over the c...

New thread title: "16-18' Beachcats, lines, sheets, trailering, welding and hull bottom preservation" hahaha. I've had several old Hobie 16's that ha...
