Single handed mast raising with the Mast Hinge

The mast hinge available from Hobie is great for some extra security when putting your mast up or down. This part is made for 16s later than 2001 but there are instructions for modifying your mast base of earlier boats.
As well as facilitating the single handed raise and drop, this will also make putting the mast up easier wit 2 people.

The Hobie 16 revolutionized multihull sailing. The Hobie 16 was unleashed on the Southern California beach scene in 1970 and sailing was instantly transformed.

The beach-launched Hobie 16 brought the sport to legions of speed-loving sailors. The catamaran’s lightweight, asymmetrical fiberglass hulls provide lift and its dual-trapeze rig lets you and your crew member harness its sheer power. Now, 45 years and over 100,000 boats later, the Hobie 16 occupies a coveted spot in the Sailboat Hall of Fame and consistently delivers big-grin sailing and world-class racing. Fly a hull and you’ll understand the global obsession!
