The listing is gone...what was the asking price?
Spring Break Turnout???
- Thread starter rockyptjoe
- Start date
As for sailing a catamaran is the sports car of sailboats. My current cat is a Trak 16, which I keep in Cholla in my boat house and take out on the bay when ever I get the chance. I've owned both the 14' & 16' Hobbies, and about the only down fall with them is nose diving when flying. The Trak has a very simular hull design as the Prindles, but what set it apart from all others is the ease of its rudder control. Running, flying or just crusing there is no need for the death grip to stay on course. The only design modification I can think of is couzie-beer holders.

Too bad AMF no longer makes the Trac cat......
As for the "death grip"....I never experienced it on my Hobie 16.
The one thing I really disliked about the Hobie (and I'm sure it held true for any of the small cats), was the mast stepping. There were aftermarket gizmos that were developed to make sure you didn't destroy your vehicle or kill someone if the mast popped out of the socket while stepping it. I was fortunate to have the trunk open on my 72 Chevelle when mine popped out and went sliding forward...into the trunk! It could have taken out my rear window!!!

Hey...it wasn't a '69, but what the hey...it did ok!
I saw a fantastic restoration of a 72 in Penasco, one night on the Mirador....bright red....driven by one of the kids hanging out....by the time I went to take a closer look, it had left...
Sorry to all for all the off topic posts.....

It was for $1500, pretty clean looking Hobie though it had white sails and personally, I like the gay-pride sails

So...in an attempt in getting the thread back on topic, ( and I've been guilty of going off topic here too:rofl: ), does anybody have numbers on the turnout for this year's spring break? Did all the "good" PR help?

LOL she still is! I just think the colorful Hobie sails look like a gay-pride parade when they're all out there. It didn't help that the first Hobie I bought was from a guy of questionable orientation and his 'partner'. Hey, don't ask; don't tell! Whatever floats your boat. Different strokes for different folks ya know?
I learned to drive in a '71 Camaro among other things. SIGH!!!!!!!!!

Since many question statistical information and I do not have any, all I can say is that many people has been saying that it has been the best Spring Break of the last 3 years, and it kept me pretty busy I might add, so next year I might have to rent a couple of vans, an as they say when in doubt......contact RockyPointRides.com
