OWNER’S MANUAL

www.hobiecat.com

Congratulations for the purchase of your new HOBIE CAT and welcome to the HOBIE sailing family.

The Hobie Cat is a long life boat.

We offer this manual as a guide to increased safety and enjoyment of your new boat. The purpose of

this publication is to provide easy, simple and accurate instructions on how to get your Hobie ready for

the water. Please read them carefully and familiarize yourself with the boat and all of the parts spread

before you.

Whether you are a new sailor or a veteran of many years, we recommend that you read this thoroughly

before your ﬁrst sail and TRY IT OUR WAY FIRST! If you are new to sailing, this manual alone is not

intended to teach you how to sail. There are many excellent books, videos and courses on the safe han-

dling of small sailboats. We suggest that you contact your local sailboat dealer, college or Coast Guard

Auxiliary for recommendations.

Watch for overhead wires whenever you are rigging, launching, sailing or trailering with the mast up.

CONTACT OF THE MAST WITH POWER LINES COULD BE FATAL! Be certain that the rigging area and

the area that you will be sailing in are free of overhead power lines. Report any such power lines to

your local power authority and sail elsewhere.

We take pride in presenting this Hobie Cat to you and hope that you’ll take as much pride in owning

her.

Fair winds and good sailing!

Hobie Cat Europe

Read carefully before sailing :

• Whether on land or on the water, WATCH FOR OVERHEAD POWER LINES. Contact with power lines can

cause serious injury or death.

• DO NOT sail while under the inﬂuence of alcohol and/or drugs

• Only sail in conditions in which you feel comfortable and where you feel conﬁdent that you can safely sail the

boat. Never go out in conditions beyond your ability.

• Everyone on board should wear a life jacket at all times.

• If you are in the water, remain in contact with the boat, even if it is capsized. A sailboat can drift away faster

than a person can swim.

• Never sail without a righting line.

• Wear appropriate clothes. Wear a wet suit or dry suit in cold weather or cold water conditions.

Protect yourself against heat and sun.

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

• When not sailing, always keep the boat pointed into the wind whether in the water or on the beach.

• Read the instruction manual carefully.

• Make sure everyone on the boat reads and understands these safety instructions.

• ALWAYS check that the drain plugs are screwed in before launching your catamaran. Remove the plugs after

sailing to drain any water that may have leaked into the hulls.

Safety equipment :

All necessary safety equipment must be available on board. (Life jackets, etc.) and must correspond to the boat

type, weather conditions, etc. This material is mandatory in some countries. The crew must know how to use this

material and how to behave in case of emergency (men at sea, towing, etc.) ; Sailing schools and clubs regularly

organise training sessions to learn how to use the safety equipment and how to behave in case of emergency.

Before sailing, check the following points :

1/ Install the drain plugs (if any) – do not overtighten, hand tight is sufﬁcient. Overtightening may

cause the drain plug ﬂange to distort and cause leakage.

2/ Tension the rig. This can be accomplished by having your assistant hang from the trapeze or you

can use mainsheet tension on one side at a time so that you can adjust the shroud position in the

side stay adjusters.

3/ Fit the daggerboards into the daggerboards wells.

4/ Check all fastenings :

- Mast tang shackles and shrouds (to prevent the mast to fall down)

- pins and trapeze rope locks (to prevent falling out in the water if the trapeze is not well fastened)

- pins and spring rings on the forestay and shrouds (to prevent the mast to fall down)

- spring rings on the rudder pins (to prevent loosing the rudder assembly in case of capsizing)

Transport

Aﬁn d’éviter d’endommager les coques :

In order to avoid hull damages :

- Always use a dolley to transport your Hobie on the beach (even if it is sand beach) and for launching. Step into

the water with the dolley and once the cata is aﬂoat take out the dolley.

- DO NOT BEACH. Beaching, even smoothly, may damage the hulls. use your beach dolley to take the boat out of

the water.

- For towing, always use an homologated road trailer with cradles.

Launching your Hobie Cat

Launching the boat is easiest when the boat can be pointed into the wind to keep it de-powered and ﬂoated into

deep enough water to lower the rudders.

It is possible to launch in shallow water with the rudders partly up.

Try not to steer with too much force on the rudders until you lock them in the down position.

Keep the sail loose and trimmed out completely until you can power up and steer away from any obstacle.

Righting your Hobie Cat

If you tip the boat over, in order to avoid the mast from sinking under the hull,

one of the crew must rapidly climb on the hull that remains on the water. In

the meantime, the other crew uncleat all the lines and sheets.

It is not necessary, but it is easier, to right the boat when the bow and the mast

are pointed into the wind. There will be less resistance and better control in

this position.

Skipper and crew stand up on the hull. Using the righting line, skipper and

crew pull the righting line that is against the upper hull and hold the line while

slowly leaning back away from the trampoline. As the mast and sail lift out of

the water, drop down to your knees then into the water. Hold on to the cross-

bar near the hull that you were standing on.

Be well aware of the hull and crossbar coming down over your head. Holding the crossbar or righting line will

also insure that you remain with the boat when it is righted. Climb abord and continue sailing.

Maintenance of your Hobie

This manual is not an exhaustive guide for the mainteance or repair of your Hobie. In case of difﬁculties, take

contact with the builder or his representative.

Always use the service of an experienced professional for the maintenance, the mounting of accessories or the

modiﬁcations to your Hobie.

Modiﬁcation that may affect the safety use of the boat must be checked before processing and made by an expe-

rienced professional. The builder cannot be hold for responsible for modiﬁcation that he has not duly approved.

In some countries, prior authorisations are necessary or speciﬁc regulations are in force. Check them.

Always maintain your boat and take into account the deterioration that may occur with the time or following

inappropriate or intensive use. Any boat (even the strongest one) may be severely dammaged if it is not used the

right way. This is not compatible with a safe sailing.

• Hobie Cat does not recommend leaving your Hobie 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.

• After sailing, it recommended to wash the hulls to remove the salt. Also remove the sails and wash them

before storing them.

• There is one plug in the rear of each hull. These plugs are used to drain the hulls. The plugs should be in

place before sailing. Remove the plugs after sailing to drain any water that may have leaked into the hulls. It

is best to travel with and store the boat with the plugs removed to allow for pressure changes due to hea-

ting, cooling, and altitude changes. This will prevent warping of the hull surface.

ASSEMBLY MANUAL

Hull / Crossbar assembly

Illustration Steps Description

Position the hulls parallel on the ground

approximately 2.5 meters apart. Prepare the

front crossbar. Unscrew the nuts off of the two 2

external head bolts. Unscrew the nuts also off of

the two internal headless bolts.

Lift the right hull into an upright position. One

person straddles the hull to hold in position. The

other one applies the silicone sealant (for

waterprooﬁng) around the bolt holes and on rivets.

Taking the front crossbar, position it on the cross-

bar moulding in the deck making sure that the eye

strap on the bar is facing to the rear of the boat and

the remaining headless bolt on the cross bar ﬁts in

the hole on the deck.

3 Insert the long external screw.

Pass your hand through the inspection port to posi-

tion the nuts and washers onto the long bolt and

the headless bolt. Tighten loosely.

Repeat the same operation for the other hull.

Repeat step 1 and 2 for the rear crossbar.

All go round the boat and tighten all eight bolts.

NB : DO NOT USE any ratchet key on the screw

WHILE MAINTAINING the nut in a ﬁxed position

with another wrench. This would cause over hea-

ting and could weld the nut on the screw. Use the

ratchet key ONLY on the nut.

It is recommended to periodically check the tightness of all 8 bolts

Forward spreader bar assembly

Illustration Steps Description

It is highly recommended to install the forward

spreader bar if the loaded weight is more than 75

kg and wind force more than 3. Failure to res-

pect this recommendation may cause structural

damages on the hulls that will not be covered by

warranty.

Identify the right side from the left side of the bar

(look for the stickers) and position it the right way

between the two hulls. Unscrew one of the screws

ﬁxing the pad-eye on the hull and attach the bar

as shown on the photo.

VERY IMPORTANT

Never use the forward spreader bar to carry the

boat. Use the 4 handles (2 at the front, 2 at the rear

of the boat) to carry the boat.

Trampoline assembly

Illustration Steps Description

Unfold the trampoline. Note that the side tension

lines are prethreaded. Insert the front sealed bolt

rope edge into the trampoline track of the front

crossbar. Continue feeding the trampoline into the

trampoline track and position it in the centre. Line

up the grommet in the centre of the front edge of

the trampoline with the dolphin striker post. This

will position the trampoline in the centre.

Pull the trampoline to the back of the boat and

insert the ﬁbreﬂass rod into the rear ﬂap of the

trampoline. Leave an equal amount protruding

from each side.

Commencer à lacer l’arrière du trampolin. Démar-

rer le laçage sur le jonc au coin arrière gauche.

Passer la lacet dans le premier trou autour du jonc

et le faire remonter sur le 1er bouton et le faire

passer sur le 2ème bouton. Passer ensuite autour

du jonc, remonter au 2ème bouton puis sur le

3ème. Continuer cette même procédure jusqu’au

bout et attacher le lacet mollement. N’essayez pas

de tendre trop le lacet à ce stade.

Tension des côtés : en partant du coin arrière droit,

prendre le lacet émergeant du trampolin. Le pas-

ser dans le pontet sur la traverse arrière, ensuite

à travers l’oeillet du trampolin et l’attacher à l’aide

d’un noeud de chaise ou similaire.

Faire la même chose de l’autre côté.

Trampoline assembly

Illustration Steps Description

Move to the front right corner of the trampoline.

Pull on the line as ﬁrmly as possible and tie a

bowline knot or loop in the line as close to the

trampoline edge as possible. This will enable a 4:1

purchase to be used for tensioning. Tie off once

tensioned to secure.

Now lead the end of the line through the eyestrap

on the rear of the front beam and back through the

loop. Lead the end back through the eyestrap and

apply as much tension as possible. Maintaining the

tension, lead the line through the grommet and

back to the eyestrap. Next, lead the line through

the grommet in the front edge of the trampoline

and tie off securely.

Repeat procedure for port side.

Retighten rear lacing from left to right. Tie the rear

lacing off securely at the eyelet posts on the right

hand end of the rear beam.

NB : It is important that the trampoline lacing is

kept very tight. Check the trampoline tension on a

regular basis.

Remember : all ropes streche!

Mast Preparation

Illustration Steps Description

Take the main halyard line (B) from the rope bags.

Unroll the main halyard wire (A) that is secured at

the head of the mast.

Using a bowline knot, secure the main halyard line

(B) to the thimble at the end of the halyard wire.

Now, secure both ends at the base of the mast.

Take all the wires from the wires bag and unroll

them. Ensure that all twists are removed.

Locate the 8 mm tang shackle and shackle the ﬁve

wires to the mast tang, as per photograph.

Jib furler

Illustration Steps Description

Take the jib tack line in the rope bag and the furler

in the rig bag.

Lead the jib halyard line to the small block on the

end of the jib halyard wire (that has been ﬁxed at

the top of the mast at the previous step) Do a loop

and secure with a Figure 8 knot.

Shackle the jib furler to the bridles using the 6mm

shackle provided. Ensure that the exit hole in the

furler is pointing towards the furler cleat on the

front crossbar. Check that the screw on the under-

side of the furler is tight. This prevents the outer

cover from rotating.

Wind the furler up in a clockwise direction.

Leave enough furler line to reach the furler

cleat.

ASSEMBLY MANUAL

Stepping the mast

Illustration Steps Description

With the base of the mast facing towards the front

of the boat, lay the mast on top of the boat. (place

some pading under the mast to prevent scrat-

ching).

Next, fasten the shrouds into the stay adjusters. To

begin with, fasten the shroud about half way up the

adjuster. This position can be adjusted later. The

position inﬂuences mast rake. Now fasten the stay

adjusters on each side of the boat. You can pull the

cover partially over the stay adjusters at this time.

The assembly of the trapeze wires can wait until

after you have raised the mast.

Now, ensure that the forestay wire is not twisted

around any other wires and you are ready for

raising the mast. For safety, two people should

raise the mast. One person now takes the head of

the mast while the other person positions the

base on the mast step ball, which is in the

center of the front cross beam.

Remove the nut and bolt from the mast base for

the mast to sit on the ball. Once ﬁtted replace the

bolt and nut. This will ensure the mast does not

‘pop off’ of the mast step ball.

Once the mast is standing and the wires all atta-

ched DO NOT FORGET TO remove the nut and bolt

from the mast base before going sailing.. This is

only necessary for raising and lowering the mast.
