RIGHTING Since it is predictable that you will eventually capsize your Hobie Ca~ and because it can be assured that you will not have this manual for reference at the time (it will float away), please familiarize yourself thoroughly with what follows: Always carry a 15 to 20 foot long righting line aboard your Hobie <!> 16. One half inch diam[...]

Helpful hint: Try to get the mast pointed into the wind so it will help you right the boat. This can be accomplished by shifting your weight to one end or the other and allowing the wind to "weathervane" the boat around. A mast- head that is stuck in a muddy bottom can be freed in like fashion. FIGURE 57 k~:: O f( . 8' ; ',. 1£[...]

You should become familiar with it prior to its use. ~~ FIGURE 61 Adjust the trapeze line by moving the rope lock up or down to compensate for your height and the desired "hiking out" angle. The adjustment should not be such that the user is easily dr[...]
