Hobiecat Mast Head Float Instalation Fitting
April 16, 2024 by Joseph Bennett | Language: EN Play Time: 00:01:05 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
The risk of your catamaran inverting can be substantially reduced by fitting a Hobie Cat Mast Head Float. This crucial safety accessory is designed for any mast that has a specific fitting at the top.
Mast Head Float Installation Process
Begin by identifying which end of the M head float is the pointy end and position it facing towards the back of your catamaran. The installation process is remarkably straightforward after this initial step.
Aligning and Securing the Mast Head Float
Nest, line up the hole at the back of the mast head float with the corresponding hole in your catamaran. With both aligned correctly, insert the bolt from underneath, and screw it tightly into place. This should secure the float effectively.
Enhanced Safety with Hobie Cat Mast Head Floats
Upon completion of this installation, you can rest assured that your boat is significantly less likely to invert. This simple modification contributes immensely towards improving your sailing experience and enhancing the safety profile of your catamaran.
Leveraging Additional Knowledge
If you are uncertain about how to right your boat should it ever invert, be sure to check out the subsequent video in this series for a comprehensive guide.
By following these instructions and integrating the Hobie Cat Mast Head Float into your catamaran, you’re taking a significant step towards a safer sailing experience. Remember, precautionary measures are always the best approach when it comes to navigation and boating.
Hobie Baby Bob Mast Float
The Hobie Baby Bob Mast Float is designed to offer the safety and security of mast head flotation with minimized drag through the air, the Baby Bob is fixed in position to the mast head with the included mounting hardware.
The Baby Bob is standard on all Hobie Waves and is also recommended for the Hobie 14. This float will also fit the Getaway and Hobie 16 with or without CompTip. Some drilling may be necessary. The larger Mama Bob (#07-30119) is also an option for most Hobies.
The Baby Bob Mast Float displaces 32 pounds of water, is 20″ long x 11″ diameter and weighs 2.65 lbs.
A Mast Float Attachment Kit and instructions are included for mounting on the recommended boats, with some drilling and tapping or light modification necessary for some boats.
