Important information

This mainsail does not comply with the official Hobie 16 class rules. It is designed for leisure use only.

Tubular fibreglass battens are included with this mainsail.

No sail area is stated here: it should not be inferred from luff and foot dimensions only, as the real sail shape is not a perfect triangle.

Before ordering, check compatibility with your Hobie 16, boom, mast and rig setup.
