I always want to clarify pricing issues when raised. We have Hobie tramps and sails that are similar in price to the lighter quality after market stuff.

Sails - I see a Calvert Wave main is $895. where a Hobie made Wave main is $676.00 for white ( $219.00 Less than a Calvert ) even the full color main from Hobie is less. The "econo" light weight 3.9 oz sail option is just $92.00 less than a Hobie made main. The Hobie made Wave sails are very durable, Hobie uses 5.6 oz Cloth.

Trampolines - Again and again I get feed back from Hobie sailors that any extra cost for the Hobie quality welded trampolines is well worth it. A white Hobie made Club Wave Tramp is priced at $335.00. That is just $94 more than a sewn aftermarket version. Only Hobie offers the range of mesh colors and heat welded seams. Most other Hobie models (14, 16 and 18s) have competitively priced white vinyl replacement tramps.

So...

After market stuff less money? Not always and not by much actually.
