    HULL ASSEMBLY HOBIE GETAWAY Lay the hulls on the ground, on their sides with bottoms to the center (graphics down), as shown above. A tarpoline or pads under the hull may be desirable if the ground surface is rough. Place the hulls about seven feet apart.

  • Page 7: Main Trampoline And Front Trampolin (Option)

    TRAMPOLINE HOBIE GETAWAY Slide the main trampoline bolt ropes into the hull trampoline tracks. Soapy water can be used as a lubricant (Do not use an oil or silicon lubricant on the trampoline track or the bolt rope). Sliding the bolt rope into the track is a 2 person job.

  • Page 11: Rudder Assembly

    RUDDER ASSEMBLY HOBIE GETAWAY Insert the retainer pins to lock the rud- ders in place. The pins will prevent the rudders from falling off the boat in the event of a capsize. Locate the left rudder (red tap) and the right one (green tap). As shown, line up the rudder pintles (metal pegs on the hulls) with the rudder castings (holes with plastic bushings).

  • Page 12: Mainsail

    MAINSAIL HOBIE GETAWAY Unfold the sail on the trampoline. Insert the battens into the batten pockets. Fasten each batten as shown on the photos above. To tension the battens, pull tension on the line forcing the batten into the pocket and cleat it. Tension each batten so that the wrinkles in the batten pockets are removed, but not excessively otherwise the sail may be more difficult to handle.

  • Page 13: Mainsheet System

    MAINSHEET SYSTEM HOBIE GETAWAY Connect the main sheet block to the traveler car. Attach the shackle that is part of the block through the clevis pin on the traveler car. Hook the mainsheet to the clew grommet at the rear of the main sail.

  • Page 14: Jib

    HOBIE GETAWAY Thread the jib sheet line starting from the eye next to the starboard (right side) swivel cleat. Pass the line through the stainless eye and tie a figure 8 knot. Thread the other end through one of the jib clew blocks and then through the swivel cleat.
