Looking at making a copy of the hobie sail for the outback.
I have a diagram with some measures but need one for to get to right.
If you have one could u measure from the mast pole to the tip (near where the rope connects.
I have made it 1150 and want to see if that's correct. Changing this measurement shorter could meen I get more head clearance.
This the measure I got to far.
I have it sorted to a tea, just need to finalise measurements.
Getting pj to sew it for me, all the rigging is simple.
Have most be stuff I need just sitting round he house lol.
could be interesting soon with Ghurkin thinking about fitting a sail as well - might be time for a regatta

There's a geeza on eBay selling a very similar sail (but slightly greater area) to suit most yaks
including the hobies. It comes witha furler too, so it's a complete package - much easier than
mucking around making one. They cost around 300 bucks though...
Looks like a plan is comming together. What sort of mast are you planning on using, I do remember seeing some where some body had put a mast design up with a home made furler.
