I have a small tear in the main sail that catches on the track. So I have to be really careful when I get to that or it will catch on the track. What would you recommend to repair that area?

Hi Joseph, Another useful clip for the H16 sailors. I note on mine that my sail can be so difficult to go up at times, particularly as it nears the top. I think that is down to the increase friction any tips on how you keep them going up smoothly on your fleet? I also find that my aussie jib is a bugger and gets tangles meaning the jib never gets pulled up quite as high as the old set up. Cheers

I have an old Hobie 18(the old 18, not the newer F18) It's been rerigged plenty of times. The main sheet/main traveler rope has always seemed too long, but I'm not sure if I really want to cut it shorter. Is there any way to set the traveler and sheet to a certain point where you can confidently measure the rope from?

Observations:


At first I thought the knot not at the very Last end of the righting line is wasted length, but thinking about it, in this way you have a handle when you want to lock the knot into the trapeze hook (and get it out again). Does that make sense?

The righting line should be long enough so that you can hook in horizontally (for maximum leverage for uprighting). But probably longer, as you need it diagonally as stabilization when you stand on the very back of the boat to get it out of inverted.

Hobie 16 main halyard: To get it back as far as possible, you should lead it around the BACK end of the cleat. This cm is - when the cleat is, say, 7 cm behind the front edge of the mast - already 15% gain in the right direction. Just to raise the awareness for this....

It might be that your halyard lock is slightly bent - if you bend the forks up with some pliers - but not beyond 90 degrees that might score you some more space - perhaps experimenting with different shackles could help.
Back wind is when the wind off the jib goes straight into the back of the main making it flap - or even pushing the mast the wrong way.
