Finaly after 4 months,, and almost giving up I have managed to buy a used Hobie 16 off a good person,, I called him in advanced and went to see the boat with him,, its not new but in running condition the owner was nice enough to give me an extra sail, boat cover sail bag, 2 harnesses extra bits and peices,, I sailed it from JASC to DOSC on a low wind around the palm island and made it home safley.. a few things needs to be changed (one hull had a crack and took in a lot of water) I dont know if the owner forgot to tell me or he didnt know of the damage if this was a monohull it would of sank... overall I am very happy and pleased boats in for repairs and will finish in a few days cant wait to take it out again.
