Hobie 16 NX5 laminate mainsail

This Hobie 16 NX5 mainsail is designed to modernise the catamaran with a more responsive square-top sail for leisure use.

Important information

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

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.
