Hobie 21 manual Hobie

CAUTION / SAFETY TIPS

•Watch for overhead power lines. Never rig, trailer or sail the boat near overhead power lines. Contact with a power line could be fatal.

•Sail to your experience. Do not try to do more than you can. Do not take the 21 Sport Cruiser out in the surf and do not head out for the ocean unless you are a real professional.

•Wear a life jacket. Wearing life vests while sailing is important for everyone. A sailboat could sail away by itself if a person were to fall overboard. The best advice to a sailor is to stay with the boat. If they happen to fall overboard, or when righting the boat, they should hold onto the boat and not let it get away.

•Learn the right-of-way rules and when in doubt, give way to others.

•When trailering the 21 Sport Cruiser be sure to tie the boat and all the loose parts to the trailer in a secure manner. Stop and check the tie downs often.

•Hobie Cat does not recommend leaving the 21 Sport Cruiser in the water on a mooring. Accelerated wear to the boat and rigging will be experienced. Damage to the hull material is possible. Limitation of the mast rotation and tensioning of the rigging are required to lessen this wear. Inspect rigging often and tape rigging rings and shackles to prevent loosening.
