I have a '75. It has white with blue top hulls, original sails in excellent condition, hulls are excellent. Original hardware mostly. I was told at a regatta last weekend that it is a collector Hobie. Is there such a thing? I was fixing to add all the latest stuff to it like comp tip, gudgeons, traps, stays...etc. Should I leave it orginal?
Depends. Do you want a Plastic Classic or do you want to race? If you want to race, will the investment in upgrades eventually be more than what the boat is worth? And, will the investment in upgrades boost the performance to be able to compete with newer boats?
