Thank you all for all your help. Today I just ordered my 2009 hobie 16 from KO sailing in La Porte, TX. The 6:1 down haul, EPO carbon rudder and the Aussie Jib setup are all stock items now. I would not have thought of asking about them without your help. I will ourfit the remainder of items when it comes in in about 2 to 3 weeks. I hope to see you at a gathering but if not, then here at the forum.
Regards,
