IMPORT ANT NOTICE. This manual is devoted to increasing your safety and enjoyment of your Hobie Cat.
We ask that you read it all thoroughly and TRY OUR WAY FIRST! Please pay particular attention to the
Safety section and the Maintenance, Mooring, and Trailering sections. It would also be a good practice to
review these on a periodic basis.
DANGER!! Watch for overhead wires whenever you are sailing,
launching, or trailering with the mast up. The mast sticks up there a long
way and shock or death could result if it comes in contact with overhead
wires. So look up when moving the boat around or even stepping the
mast and give any wires a wide berth.
