Hi guys,

I'm making my first foray into the world of multihull sailing - or at least I'm trying! I'm in search of a Hobie 16 to purchase but need to know what I'm talking about when I find one. My question is this: How can I tell (without asking and therefore looking like an easy mark) whether my (prospective) boat has a comptip mast?

I would really appreciate any advice y'all can give.
