Important information

Fibreglass battens, tensioners and sail bag are included with this mainsail.

The 2-year warranty applies under appropriate use. Damage resulting from unsuitable use or misuse is not covered.

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 Cat 17 or standard Hobie Cat 18, boom, mast and rig setup.
