Hobie 21 Boat User Manual


 
CAUTION / SAFETY TIPS
Watch for overhead power lines. Never rig,
trailer or sail the boat near overhead power lines.
Contact with a power line could be fatal.
Sail to your experience. Do not try to do more
than you can. Do not take the 21 Sport Cruiser out
in the surf and do not head out for the ocean
unless you are a real professional.
Wear a life jacket. Wearing life vests while sailing
is important for everyone. A sailboat could sail
away by itself if a person were to fall overboard.
The best advice to a sailor is to stay with the boat.
If they happen to fall overboard, or when righting
the boat, they should hold onto the boat and not let
it get away.
Learn the right-of-way rules and when in
doubt, give way to others.
When trailering the 21 Sport Cruiser be sure to
tie the boat and all the loose parts to the trailer
in a secure manner. Stop and check the tie
downs often.
Hobie Cat does not recommend leaving the 21
Sport Cruiser in the water on a mooring.
Accelerated wear to the boat and rigging will be
experienced. Damage to the hull material is
possible. Limitation of the mast rotation and
tensioning of the rigging are required to lessen this
wear. Inspect rigging often and tape rigging rings
and shackles to prevent loosening.
