Thank you for sharing this knowledge! These videos are a huge help to me as I restore my '86 Hobie 16 to sailing condition and re-learn how to sail after a 20+ year hiatus. I'll share some rig pics soon.

Hey Joe. Some photos of how the H16 trapeze wires are attached at the face of the mast would be helpful. Most people don't know what the extra hole is for on the tang, and I see shackles installed incorrectly at the top of the mast holding the trap wires. Have helped many sailors fix this potentially dangerous problem of only threading the pin through the hole in the mast.
@JoyriderTV4 жыл бұрын
Yeah, it's not obvious. I linked the rigging the mast video at the end which goes through the attachment at the top.

Hobie also sells two solid bare metal trapeze "dogbones" if you don't want to buy the more expensive J&H handles. I prefer the J&H since the bare metal ones could possibly knock one of your teeth out or break your sunglasses when you are not on the wire.

Thank you very much, as always extremely on the point and helpful. By the way, Your videos of doing wild stuff with the Hobie 16 made me by one.... And also I just made my first rides with it... Feels, as if it is the right thing for me to play with.... Waiting now for a little tougher winds and my first trapezing... Made some tests, how to get out and I thought, the lines are maybe a little too long. It needs quite a big effort to get back in the trampoline.😊😊😊😊
@JoyriderTV3 ай бұрын
I'm very glad that the videos have been helping!! With lines being too long, i'd shorten them a little and then test again..... and repeat

Thanks for the vid, got a question for you. Right now i have both trapeze shock cords routed through each of the two kringles in the trampoline, then both extending forward around the dolphin striker just as you have done with the crews shock cord. Is this disadvantageous? Why have the crews trapeze routed through the forward kringle and then around the dolphin striker, but not the skippers? I have both done like this atm.
@JoyriderTV Жыл бұрын
I keep the skipper's loose under the side bar so that it can be moved out of the way, making more space for inexperienced crews to get out.

Why do you still need the dogbone arrangement when you use the adjustable set up? can't you simply attach the end of double block to the J&H? I am considering a trapeze set up for my trimaran 🙂

Just got a hobie wave. It came with some trapeze wires and handles. Might try it out once I figure out how to actually sail this thing. What would you say the weight limit is on them? I'm 260. Would that be too much on the mast?
@JoyriderTV Жыл бұрын
I think if you're not trapezing you can load it up as much as you like. I wouldn't put more than 260 on the trapeze at a time.

A seat harness is good to use but not a waist harness as that will put too much pressure on your back.

Hi Joe, do you have a video on battens? I think this is the only subject I am missing out of the Hobie 16 subject. Also, my jib is trembling and making noises like a helicopter. If I remove the upper batten it's much better.

They come as standard with Hobie, I like them because they give you more to get hold of. They're not any better than traditional trapeze rings.

The length that we have between the wire and elastic is 40cm, more like 60cm when you take into account the dogbone and the knots - there will be a short video later today.
