WHAT THE SAILORS ARE SAYING…

The RS CAT16, a triumph of rotomolding technology, is not just another plastic beach cat. It’s plenty high-performance. This is one for adults and kids alike to get hooked on the stoke that comes with two hulls.

The RS Cats were a huge success and the kids loved the thrill of catamaran sailing.

Even under main and jib alone, the RS Cat 16 sizzled along, its wave-piercing bows doing their thing while a pair of laser-beam-straight wakes stretched out astern. A few minutes later, we hoisted the A-sail, and life became very satisfying indeed.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Small Boat Spotlight : The Everlasting Hobie 16

By: Pat Reynolds Learn To Sail , Sailboats , Sailing Fun

When you stop and think about what types of boats are most responsible for luring people into the wonderful world of sailing the Hobie 16 has got to be in the top three on the list. For children of the 1970s and 80s this sexy little catamaran seemed to be sitting on a trailer in every other backyard.

What most simply call the Hobie 16 is an iconic sailboat that is considered by many to be the most popular catamaran in the world. In the beginning, the H16 was marketed as more than some ordinary sailboat that could be easily trailered, rigged and beached. Instead Hobie Alter put forth the idea that to sail this boat was to be part of a lifestyle – the “ Hobie way of life .” Instead of making the pitch that it was a fast fun little boat that could make your summer a little brighter, Alter suggested that sailing a Hobiecat was a reflection of an energized youth with a dash of good-natured rebellion.

There have been over 135,000 of these boats produced since 1969 and they are the second largest boat fleet in existence. The H16 is simple to rig (especially on a beach) and pretty easy to sail, although capsizing is par for the course and regarded by some as fun. Once launched, the full batten main and relatively lightweight construction (320 pounds) makes the boat quite fast and responsive. The Hobie folks state the max speed is nearly 24-knots and there are plenty of Hobie sailors who will agree and verify. At speeds like that you can bet whoever is sailing the boat will be utilizing another element Hobie sailors love – the dual trapeze setup they are equipped with. In 10-15 knots of breeze, skipper and crew can hike their entire bodies out on the wires simultaneously, suspended above the water and as the hull begins to rise, life becomes very sweet. Any beach cat sailor will tell you that sailing along at 15-knots, hiked out and flying a hull is one of the most blissful feelings known to man.

The other very positive aspect of the Hobie 16 is the cost of entry. It remains one of the more inexpensive roads into the world of sailing. A 2017 Hobie 16 is just over $11,000 and that’s ready to sail. Lots of sailboats have a base price and then silly little extras like… sails!! And if the used market is explored, a ready to sail H16 can be picked up for under $1,000, which is pretty incredible.

And lastly, Hobie 16s are also versatile. They’re small enough to throw in the backyard next to the garage without causing marital dismay but once rigged and ready, they’re hearty enough to do some serious coastal sailing. While many Hobie sailors head out for a few hours for some low-key albeit amped up daysailing, others like to actually get in the surf, hit the adrenaline button and use the boat as a surfboard.

It’s a design that has definitely stood the test of time (for good reason) and one that is positive for the sport. The cost to fun ratio is right where we like to see it, so if you don’t have a boat and don’t want to spend a fortune – grab a Hobie 16 and getcha sail on!

How to Sail a Hobie 16: A Step-by-Step Tutorial

Title: Mastering the Art of Sailing a Hobie 16: An Expert’s Guide

Introduction: Sailing is an exhilarating experience that allows you to harness the power of the wind and embark on thrilling adventures. Among the various vessels available, none offer the same level of excitement as sailing a Hobie 16. In this comprehensive guide, we will take you through a step-by-step tutorial on how to sail this iconic catamaran effortlessly. So tighten your life jacket and prepare to unlock your inner sailor as we set sail !

Step 1: Familiarize Yourself with Your Hobie 16 Before setting off into open waters, it’s essential to become acquainted with your vessel. The Hobie 16 is known for its sleek design, high-speed capabilities, and maneuverability. Take time to study its components — from the mainmast and trampoline to the adjustable jib tracks and rudders. Understanding every detail will facilitate your journey towards becoming a skilled Hobie captain.

Step 2: Pre-Sail Checklist A pre-sail checklist is crucial in ensuring a safe voyage. Check each equipment meticulously before departure — ensure sails are securely fastened, inspect ropes for signs of wear or fraying, and double-check that all fasteners are tightly secured. Additionally, make sure that personal safety equipment such as life jackets are easily accessible for both you and your crew.

Step 3: Rigging Your Hobie 16 Rigging your catamaran paves the way for endless possibilities on the water. Begin by stepping your mast carefully into place while ensuring it aligns perfectly atop two sturdy bases mounted on each hull. Attach shroud wires next, followed by raising your mainsail at full hoist using halyards located near the front of your boat . Securely tighten all sail controls while making necessary adjustments according to current wind conditions.

Step 4: Setting Sail – The Basics As you depart from the shore, always remember the cardinal rule of sailing — let the wind guide you. Position yourself and your crew comfortably on opposite sides of the Hobie 16 to balance its weight. Keep a keen eye on the telltales (tiny ribbons located parallel to your sails) to determine wind direction and achieve optimum sail trim.

Step 5: Harnessing the Power of Tacking and Gybing Navigating your Hobie 16 efficiently requires mastering two critical sailing maneuvers – tacking and gybing. Tacking involves steering into the wind , resulting in a change of direction while keeping your mainsail positioned well over mid-ship. On the other hand, gybing entails turning away from the wind by moving across its path smoothly . Precise timing and coordination between skipper and crew are essential for executing these maneuvers effortlessly.

Step 6: Riding With Confidence on Waves Picture this – you’re gliding through whitecaps with adrenaline rushing through your veins. To maneuver waves successfully, maintain a controlled speed while allowing enough time for your catamaran to rise with each wave’s crest gently. Remember, stability is key when handling choppy waters; grip both tillers firmly, ensuring optimal balance as you embrace nature’s rollercoaster ride.

Step 7: Docking Like a Pro As your adventure winds down, docking gracefully showcases true sailing finesse. Approach your destination slowly with sails luffing before loosening halyards gradually. Coordinate with crew members to carefully lower sails whilst maintaining control using rudders until perfectly aligned with your desired berth.

Conclusion: Sailing a Hobie 16 is an art form that combines technical skills with an adventurous spirit. By following this step-by-step tutorial, you will embark on a journey filled with excitement, challenges, and memories of conquering vast open waters like never before. So hoist those sails high, master the winds, and let the Hobie 16 be your passport to thrilling maritime escapades!

Mastering the Art of Hobie 16 Sailing: Tips and Techniques

The exhilarating world of Hobie 16 sailing is a realm where the thrill of nature and the mastery of technique converge. Whether you are new to this captivating sport or seeking to refine your skills, our blog aims to serve as a comprehensive guide to mastering the art of Hobie 16 sailing, offering valuable tips and techniques that will propel you towards becoming a seasoned sailor.

Tip #1: Familiarize Yourself with Your Vessel Before setting sail on any adventure, it is crucial to intimately acquaint yourself with your Hobie 16 catamaran. From its dual hull design to rigging and controls, understanding every facet of this vessel will form the foundation upon which your sailing prowess will be built. Spend quality time exploring its construction, learning how each part contributes to proper operation, responsiveness, and overall performance.

Technique #1: Harnessing the Power of Wind Sailing is an elegant dance between man and wind. To truly master the art of Hobie 16 sailing, it is essential to comprehend wind dynamics. Observe weather patterns; understand how winds interact with different surfaces such as water or land masses. Identify prevailing winds and learn their characteristics in various conditions while keeping an eye on gusts that can change course rapidly. By tapping into the raw force of wind effectively, you will unlock unprecedented speed and control.

Tip #2: Mastering Tacking & Jibing Tacking and jibing are two fundamental maneuvers every skilled Hobie 16 sailor must have under their belt. Tacking involves changing course against the wind’s direction by turning into it so that the sail moves from one side of the boat to the other. On the other hand, jibing entails turning downwind with controlled finesse while ensuring sails properly transition from one side to another without losing momentum or balance.

Technique #2: Finding Balance & Trim Maintaining equilibrium on a fast-paced catamaran like the Hobie 16 is an art form. Understanding how to achieve and maintain optimum balance and trim in different sailing conditions can make all the difference in your performance. Learn to adjust your body and distribute weight accordingly, reacting to gusts or rough waters with nimble adjustments that keep both hulls skimming effortlessly over the water.

Tip #3: The Art of Reading Waves When conquering the waves, a skilled Hobie 16 sailor must become a masterful wave reader. Observe the patterns and characteristics of incoming swells, identifying ideal points for effortless acceleration or deceleration. Read the behavior of waves – their shapes, sizes, and crests – as they impact your vessel’s trajectory, allowing you to anticipate their effects on speed, stability, and overall control.

Technique #3: Improving upwind Performance Once you have gained mastery over harnessing wind power and wave dynamics, it’s time to enhance your upwind performance – a true testament of skill for any sailor. Utilize techniques such as pointing higher into the wind while avoiding excessive turning that may slow you down.

First, let’s unravel this intriguing phenomenon that is the Hobie 16.

Experience the thrill of your heart pounding in sync with each wave conquered beneath your hulls as you push your limits to harness its full potential.

One aspect that sets sailing apart from other forms of adventure sports is that it demands both physicality and mental dexterity. Steering a Hobie 16 requires not only strength but also precision – knowing when to trim your sails or adjust your weight distribution can make all the difference between cruising at top speed or losing momentum. It’s like a beautiful dance between man and machine; where intuition meets scientific calculation in perfect harmony.

Apart from its breathtaking speeds, what makes sailing a Hobie 16 truly captivating is its versatility. Whether you’re aiming for an adrenaline-fueled race or simply seeking solace while leisurely exploring picturesque coastlines, this nautical marvel accommodates every sailor ‘s desire. Feel empowered as you become one with nature, harnessing the raw power of wind and water to propel yourself into moments of pure bliss. It’s a symphony of sensations, combining the rush of speed with the soothing embrace of nature.

Sailing a Hobie 16 is not limited to just thrill-seekers; it also fosters a strong sense of community among enthusiasts. The sailing world boasts a vibrant ecosystem where like-minded individuals come together to share knowledge, stories, and experiences. Participating in regattas or joining sailing clubs provides opportunities to meet fellow adventurers who share your passion for this remarkable water sport. Who knows? You may even find yourself forming lifelong friendships that transcend the boundaries of the sea.

In conclusion, the exhilaration of sailing a Hobie 16 cannot be overstated. From its rich history to its unparalleled performance on the water, this legendary catamaran embodies the essence of adventure itself. So whether you’re an adrenaline junkie seeking your next fix or an outdoor enthusiast yearning for liberation from landlocked monotony, sailing a Hobie 16 promises an unforgettable experience – one that will leave you yearning for more high-speed escapades and sun-soaked horizons. So set sail and explore the thrill that awaits you!

Safety Tips and Precautions for Sailing a Hobie 16

Sailing a Hobie 16 is an exhilarating experience that allows you to feel the wind in your hair as you glide across the water. However, like any adventure sport , it is important to prioritize safety to ensure a fun and incident-free outing. Whether you are a seasoned sailor or new to the world of Hobie 16 sailing, following these safety tips and precautions will help keep you and your crew safe on the water.

1. Wear Proper Safety Gear: Before setting sail, make sure everyone on board is wearing appropriate safety gear. This includes life jackets or personal flotation devices (PFDs), which should be worn at all times while on the boat. PFDs should fit properly and be Coast Guard approved.

2. Check Weather Conditions: Always check the weather forecast before heading out on your Hobie 16 sailing adventure . Strong winds, thunderstorms, or rough seas can make sailing unsafe and potentially dangerous . If conditions are not favorable, it’s better to postpone your trip to another day.

3. Maintain Your Boat: Regular maintenance of your Hobie 16 is essential for safe sailing. Inspect the hulls, sails, rigging, rudders, and other components regularly for any signs of damage or wear. Replace worn-out parts promptly to avoid unexpected equipment failure while out on the water.

4. Know Your Limits: Understanding your own skill level as well as those of your crew members is crucial when sailing any boat , including a Hobie 16. Only embark on journeys that match your experience and capabilities. If you are a beginner or lack confidence in certain conditions (such as strong winds), consider taking lessons or sailing with more experienced sailors until you gain proficiency.

5. Prepare a Float Plan: Be sure to let someone ashore know about your sail plan before setting off into open waters. Share details of your intended route, estimated time of return, and any other relevant information. This way, if you encounter an emergency or don’t return as scheduled, someone can notify the authorities and initiate a search if necessary.

6. Practice Capsize Recovery: Capsizing is not uncommon in sailing, especially in a Hobie 16 which is known for its speed and maneuverability. It is crucial for everyone on board to know how to recover from a capsize to stay safe . Practice regularly with your crew to familiarize yourselves with the process of righting the boat and getting back on deck.

7. Be Mindful of Other Boats: While out on the water, always be aware of your surroundings and keep an eye out for other boats or vessels . Collisions can happen quickly when sailors are not paying attention, so maintain a safe distance from other boats and adhere to right-of-way rules.

8. Sail with Someone: It’s always safer to sail with a buddy or another boat nearby. If you encounter any difficulties or emergencies while sailing solo , having someone nearby can make a significant difference in terms of assistance or contacting help if needed.

9. Stay Hydrated and Protect Against Sunburn: Sailing under the scorching sun for hours can lead to dehydration and painful sunburns—both of which can impair your judgment and ability to navigate safely . Remember to drink plenty of water during your trip and apply sunscreen regularly to protect yourself from harmful UV rays.

10. Trust Your Instincts: Finally, trust your instincts when it comes to safety decisions on the water. If something doesn’t feel right or you have any doubts about proceeding further, listen to that inner voice telling you to exercise caution or return ashore.

Sailing a Hobie 16 is an incredible way to enjoy the open waters; however, ensure you prioritize safety at all times by following these tips and precautions. By doing so, you can make the most out of your sailing experience while ensuring the well-being of yourself and your crew. Happy sailing!

2014 Hobie Cat Getaway

East Greenwich, Rhode Island

Model Getaway

16 ft. Hobie Cat Getaway - literally like new! The Getaway is designed to sail easily and safely with the roller furling jib and boomless main. The unique hull design delivers the performance Hobies are know for – even flying a hull for the thrill seeksers out there. This boat was purchased August, 2014 to get our teenagers into sailing. It was only used during the two weeks we were on Cape Cod (approximately 5 times). Unfortunately, tubing and wakeboarding hold more allure, so we are switching over to a small powerboat. Sails are the Seabreeze color scheme. Being the brand new 2014 model, it includes all the upgrades that come with the new re-design including the improved rudders. The boat comes well equipped but we added: the Wing Seats ($1100 option); Trapeze wires and quick height adjusters with competition trap rings; composite hiking stick (long) with a stainless quick release, and a 2:1 downhaul. 2014 Load Rite Sailboat trailer (with mast support) included in the package. This trailer is equipped with larger rims and upgraded tires for better highway performance as well as bearing buddies for easy maintenance. It also has a rear mast bracket to make trailering that much easier and secure. The trailer has touched water only twice in its life – one launch and one boat removal.

16' Prindle Sailboat

Commerce Twp, Michigan

Up for sale is my 16' Prindle. The main sale is multi colored and in very good shape considering this is not a new boat, the jib is solid Yellow. The Boats pontoons are in very good shape with no soft spots. The Trailer is Aluminum and also in good shape and has bearing buddies installed. I have not sailed in years but have sailed extensively on both this prindle and other sailboats. The 16 Prindle handles the heavy wind far better than a hobie and very importantly can be self righted when/if you flip it by just one person. This point can not be overstated you dont want to be stranded in the middle of the lake because you are sailing an 18' It will take a weekend to clean up and to do the intisl setup. On a prindle each rudder is raised and lowered manually and independantly of the other by two different lines, for a total of four four foot lines. These lines are about three to four feet long each. These lines are available at lowes or home depot in the rope section and cost a total under $10.00. It is easy with just a coat hanger to re-line your rudders in about 20 minutes and is part of good maitenance to do on who evers prindle you adopt. Besides this just a good overall cleaning and waxing much like you would your car. The trailer has Michigan plates but the tabs are expired. I contacted secretary of state today and was told that boats under 20' in Michigan do not have title but just a bill of sale, please feel free to confirm this independantly with the Michigan Secretary of State office. All the other ropes and block along with the main and jib sails and the boom, Mast and cables, have been stored inside and are in excellent condition. I am no longer including the trampoline so you will have to buy a new one. This is good because new trampolines are so much better than the original trampolines that came with these boats. The reason is you tend to slide across these tramps very often as you move from port to starboard under the boom and vice versa and nothing is worse than the original trampoline for this or a modern trampoline with burs/small inperfections. You also want a trampoline that will be smooth to slide across without any obstacles in the mat ie Straps, Gromets, Rope and in my opinion rope pockets. See Aromic Tarp Website for 16' Prindle Mats. http://www.atomictarp.com/catamaran_trampolines?id=catamaran_trampolines&bas=&categories=4 The prindle is at my home on commerce lake in Commerce Township, MI. It is loaded on its aluminum trailer in my driveway. $650 firm 248-266-2045 or 248-894-6387 Emailing is the easiest way to reach me, I check my email often thru out the day and can respond to any questions quickly.
