Yesterday a buddy of mine & i went in 1/2 on a Hobie Miracle 20 ; towed it home last night !! We had a few Beers and gazed at our new machine till
Late last night, wondering how long it would take to do a broad-reach across out 3-mile wide Lake Mohave in a 25mph wind , while riding the faces of the usual 2 to 3ft chop ?? HA !!!! ------His Wife was PISSED ...

So First Question is -- will the Hobie Mast-Bob fit our retro--fitted plastic topped Mast ; we kinda decided to NOT go out sailing without one for obvious reasons. & who's got one , or is there a better option out there ?

Should we seal up the Mast before using it ; if so How ? I heard that
the plastic part on the mast likes to leak.

Other than a few frayed stitching in the sails, the entire boat is near Perfect ; it was stored inside a shed for the last 4 years and even the tramp is perfect. It came with Two complete sets of sails ; one
of which is a tad bit smaller than the other, with a smaller jib. We could use a few mast-Balls that the mast rotates on, who's got 2 or 3 of those we could purchase ?

I predict that we will be flipping this thing over, on our first time out, so we thought we'd practice righting
it in no wind so the fear-factor would be less when it Did happen ! Any suggestions ?

Bille -- with a (Smile) !!
