Before Sailing

1

Install the drain plugs – do not overtighten, hand tight is sufficient. Overtightening may cause the drain plug flange to distort and cause leakage.

2

Tension the rig. This can be accomplished by having your assistant hang from the trapeze or you can use mainsheet tension on one side at a time so that you can adjust the shroud position in the side stay adjusters.

3

Fit the daggerboards into the daggerboards wells. The dag-

 

gerboard roller shock cord should be tight enough to prevent

the daggerboard from slipping down.

4

It is recommended that beach rollers be used

 

to move your Hobie. This will save your back

 

and the bottom of the boat.

5

Always wash traveller with fresh water after

 

use in salty water.

Always wear your Hobie buoyancy vest, look out

for overhead power lines and

HAVE LOTS OF FUN!
