post the date and location when it becomes available.
Also note that the HOBIE 21 Nationals will be held in Falmouth

(Dave Nolan) and Ensign Marine (Steve Ruhl). If you would like to
help, give either a call.

| 1206.4 | Comp tip requirement for Regatta Racing | AKOV11::KALINOWSKI | | Fri Jan 19 1990 13:34 | 17 |
|
Please note that for the 1990 regatta schedule, One must have a
Comptip equiped mast. This rule is in effect for all of the US. You
will be allowed to particpate in a single regetta with the older
style mast at which they will log your sail number. Any other regettas
you enter afterwards will cause you to be disqualified.
The cost of having a comptip modification is $0.00 . Just call
your local dealer and tell them what kind of a boat you have so they
can get the parts and schedule you in. Also, Hobie will warrant your
mast for 1 year after the modification against leakage and breakage.
It's free, It's safer, It makes everyone compete with identical boats.
Call for your comptip now!!!!

| 1206.5 | how to tell mast type | KRAPPA::RHODES | Jim Rhodes @WFO 242-2795 | Fri Jan 26 1990 10:07 | 3 |
| John, How can I tell if my 1979 16' Hobie has the comp-tip mast?
Jim
|
| 1206.6 | | DPDMAI::JOHNSONG | | Wed Jan 31 1990 12:43 | 7 |
| If aren't sure you probably do not have one. The top third will be
fiberglass appearing with the lower part being metal. I used to have a
79. The stock mast then was no comptip. You can have your local
dealer modify to a comtip with no charge. They are required for
regattas this year unless you have a renegade division (14) that will
not require them except for national points.

| 1206.7 | ignorance | LANDO::SCHUMANN | Keep your MIPS, I want VUPS | Wed Jan 31 1990 13:55 | 3 |
| OK, what's a comptip? (I used to have a HOBIE 16, and I'm curious)

| 1206.8 | Non-Hobie owner's attempt at an answer | NETMAN::CARTER | | Wed Jan 31 1990 16:30 | 11 |
| I'm not a Hobie owner or sailor, but the way I understand it is, a
COMP-TIP is an electrically non-conductive tip on the top of the very
electrically conductive aluminum mast. It resulted from people
tangling the mast in power lines, making lots of sparks and then suing
the boat manufacturer. Presumably it is effective, but my Freedom
mast, made of carbon fiber with no standing rigging still had a warning
about staying away from overhead power lines. (The sail track on the
Freedom was still aluminun.)

| 1206.9 | how is it done | KRAPPA::RHODES | Jim Rhodes @WFO 242-2795 | Thu Feb 01 1990 09:26 | 7 |
| My mast is definately not a comptimp. Just to clarify this once more.
My dealer will replace/install with a comp timp mast?
How will this be done? By retrfitting my existing aluminum mast or
giving me a new comptimp mast?
Very curious now.
|
| 1206.10 | | DPDMAI::JOHNSONG | | Fri Feb 02 1990 15:28 | 10 |
| They will take your current mast and cut it off above the tang
connection (where all the shroud lines and trap wires are connected)
then put a plug in the mast and then put the comp tip on the plug. If
you have this done you will want to make or buy a cover for the comptip
to make it last longer. Also be careful when you trailer it. If you
put the track side down it will wear against where it comes in contact
with the boat or rear support. Pad it real well or turn it over. I
think that the Dec or Jan issue of Hotline had several articles on the
comptip that you might want to read.
|
| 1206.11 | More on CompTips | AKOV11::KALINOWSKI | | Thu Feb 08 1990 17:59 | 46 |
| The January issue of the Hobie Hotline does have several excelent
articles on it. One should trailer either type with the track up as
it keeps the track from getting dinged which hinders raising and
lowering the sail. The comptip should also be armor-all twice a year
to keep it from turning grey. I usally let it turn a bit grey and then
scrub the sucker with one of my SO nylons in armor-all. Comes out like
new! I find that some armor-all in the track
helps the sail slide up that last 2 feet much easier.
Another positive benefit is that the top sheave is replaced by two
smaller ones with a bit more slop in them. The reason this is a benefit
is the first time you turtle the sucker into beach sand (who me ???).
A pail of water will clear the sheaves while the older models sometimes
need to have most the specks picked out with a thin knife before they
turn. this can take up to 2 hours if you really gave it a good lumping.
If you have an older boat, having the comptip retro fitted will
automatically put a 1 year warranty into effect,so you can beat on your
boat without worry of the financial issues of a failure (note you still
must worry about self-preservation ;>) ;>) ).
On a still air day, the 16s are a little bit off on performance (as
measured by someone who has gotten everything else out of the cat), and
in a blow they are a bit better since they will bend a bit more causing
a more full sail shape.
On a Hobie 18, they are better all around since the mast is already very
stiff because of the diamond wires.
If you call one of the local dealers today, you could probably have it
done in the next couple of weekends. But then they start building the
90s for the new season, so give them a call today.
A great idea is to look at your mast before calling. Everything else
OK ? (i.e. base seam is working, tangs look ok, mast step still have
life in it?). IF not, make sure they will have the parts to do the
job at the same time. the tools needed to do these tasks are the same
and they will probably be able to save you some labor
costs if they do everything at once.
As to taking the abuse, the hobie 21s use this construction without
problems, they the owners are known for being brutal in heavy wind
races.

other than Randy Smythe, Catamaran racing hero extrodinare.
The class will begin Sunday evening, followed by 4 days of racing
starts, tacks, classes and evening reviews. On friday is the graduation

are very positive on it.

will be camping at the site. The next day starts the Buzzard Regetta,
one of the largest Hobie events of the season. If you are looking for
