Looks like 6 battens to me. 14's are 5 or 6 and 16's are 8 if I recall.

The bottom of the second page tells you how to measure mast rake.

Ok Hobie 20 guys, Here's the scoop. It's a series written by Bob Curry in the mid 90's. All you need to know and a whole lot more.

Is it a Hobie Dragon?

Looks like Team Dirty Bird's (Key Sailing) in the lead this morning. Live tracking is cool.

I didn't buy an F18 to sail handicap.

Very few people camp any more. There is some room but limited. No hookups. Sprinkler system in grassy area. Hopefully Rob will reply to this.

They only squeak in light air.
