Hobie 16, coastal sailing New Zealand

[@knpstrr]

Would be a terribly rough ride if the seas got even mildly active

Hey Paul - how far through the NZ trip are you - happy to get you some torpedo7 test gear - some apparel and a tent if your old one craps out - just need to work out how to get it to you - hope all is well - don't turtle too much 😃

What is that solar set up? Is that custom construction or something that you can buy for all Hobies?

Hi Jesse , it was a construction i put together myself , it incorporated a usb port for phone charging etc and a cigarette plug , the solar panels were charging a 12V 9amp hr lead crystal battery (motorbike sized) . The whole thing was suspended on an outboard bracket professionally made and purchased from the States , you can find one of these at cheatabrackets.com/ . I hope this information is useful to you :)
