Hobie Cat
Does anyone know where I can obtain a used sail for a 15 foot Hopbie Cat? I could also use a used canvas platform for the same boat or try to get the one I have repaired by a canvas repair man.
I know it is early to be thinking about sailing but I think the ice will be out today and I couldnt wait. |

Got an hour?
The below site will help you find what you need. There is a vendor there for a new "tramp" (canvas platform), that may save you money over a used one (and last longer). http://www.cat-alist.com/tobuysell.htm
I had my tramp re-stitched by an awning repair shop, but the stitching (his top grade) wasn't up to the elements and stresses. Wasted money. Wolfeboroonline.com advertised an entire, complete Hobie for $500 last fall. (It's worth triple that in parts -- like the trailer it came with). If that cat is still available (but not currently advertised), try a "wanted" ad in the classifieds (here) or advertise (Hobie wanted -- for parts) in a Lakes Region paper. |

Cheap Parts -- $150
I can't think of a single component for a Hobie Cat that doesn't cost $150.
Here's an entire Hobie 16 -- on The Lake -- advertised for $150! http://www.nhjumbo.com/205.html |

http://www.cat-alist.com/tobuysell.htm "wanted" hulls, cross bars, rudders, masts, daggerboards, centerboards (for the older 18's), trampolines, sails, and rudder hardware. (How do you break a cross bar, anyway?) The Hobie factory quoted me $400 (shipping not included) for a new daggerboard, so I bought a West SystemŽ epoxy kit for $100, and fixed the old one. If you still have the old bent mast, I can put it to use. The internal-halyard feature will make it a perfect Purple Martin house support, and maybe encourage that Osprey away from our mastheads -- and from dropping sushi bones down on our decks! |
