I just inherited a Hobie 16 and I'm a pretty green sailor. I've sailed H14's solo before so I know I'll grow into the craft. My question is: Before I sail the boat what should I check out? I gave it a once over before I accepted it and it looked like it was in good shape. The mast looked good, the shrouds were taught, the hulls were firm, the tramp was old. I'm assuming that I'll need to replace the tramp and sails. Being an inexperienced sailor, and Cat owner, I need to know what specifically to look for as far as wear and tear. I want to make sure the boat is safe. Any guidence would be appreciated.
