How does one reef the sails on a 1979 hobie 16 "correctly""?
Q. We've done it before, haven't had problems, just want to make sure we did it right. We just put the straps through the holes and made it tight, and placed the outhaul on the upper hole
Asked by Sebastian M - Wed Nov 4 22:29:42 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. That's exactly how you do it, just make sure the straps dont come undone. If they come undone the boat doesn't work quite as well as it might, and chances are you will get wet.

A. I've heard about the semester at sea. www.semesteratsea.com there was a special about it on the discovery channel once when a wave hit the ship and it flooded and a bunch of people were injured but it was a freak accident thing. I've been on 4 cruises and i have never had any complaints

A. actual sail material is "Dacron"...sun awnings and screens on boats is a fabric whoe's best known trade name is Sunbrella...Sunbrella holds up to sunlight way better than Dacron...try www.sailrite.com for a good source, or Defender Industries in New York...almost nothing is mildew proof; dont put the fabric away wet, spray it with Lysol or a very weak bleach mixture every now and then...
