I have an 83, and the best upgrade I did was the aussie jib halyard with the tension system. Next, was shimming the pylons to get a tighter fit to eliminate all the play and wiggles. After that was tuning the rudders. Once all that was done, it was very smooth sailing from then on.
Nice upgrades.
Great to have an old boat that runs like new
I can't believe you're right here! If you find yourself near Lake Jocassee in SC definitely check it out! Miles and miles of untouched natural shoreline between ancient mountain peaks, dotted with 80ft waterfalls directly into the lake. And water so clear you can easily make out details in the boulders down to like 30ft. We're often out there on our Hobie One!
That sounds too nice!! Unfortunately, this time i'll only be in Ocean Springs Ms now.
Hello Joseph,
I'm not much of a networker.
But I can't find the right words to thank you for your wonderful videos.
Your work is magnificent and above all very explicit.
I'm from Belgium.
I have to use English to French subtitles and sometimes the words in French are special, but it's easy to understand what you're talking about.
We're beginners and we bought a 1984 HC16 and for a beginner it's incredible the sensations we have with this boat.
We're also trying to update it ...
If you're ever looking for a subject for an upcoming video, why not the assembly of a mast float (baby bob).
I look forward to seeing your new videos in the next few hours.
Best wishes and thanks again.
Bonjour Joseph,
Je ne suis pas trop bavard sur les réseaux.
Mais je ne trouve pas le mots exacts pour vous remercier sur vos magnifiques vidéos.
Vous faites un travail magnifique et surtout très explicite.
Je suis de Belgique.
Je dois utiliser un sous-titrage anglais vers français et parfois les mots en français sont spéciaux mais on comprend très vite de quel sujet vous parlez.
Nous sommes débutant et nous avons acheté un HC16 de 1984 et pour un début c'est incroyable les sensations que nous avons avec ce bateau.
Nous essayons aussi de le mettre au goût du jour ...
Si jamais vous cherchez un sujet pour une vidéo prochaine, pourquoi pas le montage d'un flotteur de mât (baby bob).
J'ai hâte les prochaines heures de voir vos nouvelles vidéos.
Bonnes continuations à vous et encore merci.

Thanks very much for your kind words.
I'll see if I can find a mast head float. That's a great topic for a video.
Good luck with your 16
Thank you very much for your prompt reply.
I don't quite understand how to fit my masthead float as there is only 1 hole in my float (diameter +/- 8.5mm) and the diameter of the masthead pulley is very small (+/- 5-6mm).
Do I need to drill a hole in the mast ????
Good luck and I'm looking forward to the video.... ahahahah🤣🤣
@@davidmaertens2941 I've filmed for the video, I'll get that one out today.
What I think may be the case is that you have the USA style mast head with 2 pulleys in which case, you may need to ask on one of the Hobie Sailors groups on FB as I haven't experience with that style of fitting
Your kinda a pro semi-celebrity in my book... can't believe you are state side... What a gas!! ...I thought of you as a hard core European cat living and sailing in your cove, but now you'r like super pro and sailing some familiar waters... thanks for keeping the Hobie stoke high.
Thanks! Yes, quitting my day job meant that i'm now able to get out from my usual venue.
Loving the US
cheers jo.. great to see ya doing vids whilst away...take care brother 🎉
Thanks 👍
Definitely interesting, and entertaining!
Glad you think so!
I’m putting my Hobie 16 on a mooring in Pillar Point Harbor, CA this weekend. Right next to Mavericks surf spot. Come on over for a sail. You should definitely check out the Hobie Fleet they keep on the beach in Santa Cruz.
Oh, BTW I bought my Hobie 16 because of your video “Should I Buy a Hobie 16?”
Great stuff, I'm glad that the video pushed you in the right direction. That must be an epic place to sail!
Man to bad it's still up here in Michigan.. invite u up to sail in lake erie!!
Maybe next time
Best upgrade on my 83 h16 has been EPO 1's, set of Cayman 2017 sails, Malcheski tiller extension. Love all the little upgrades on these things
Yes! I look forward to seeing you boat soon.
Come on down to Tampa Bay for a regatta at the GYC in St Petersburg!
Next time. I'm in Ocean Springs Ms for 2 events this time.
I’m surprised it wasn’t mentioned yet but the tiller quick disconnects are super sweet. Makes for easy stowage of the rudders.
Yes, good point - the more modern tiller ends are so much more convenient
Joe great to see you’re in GA! Any chance you’re making it to Lake Norman NC?
unfortunately not this time.
@@JoyriderTV well you’re welcome here anytime. F16 ready to go!
Hi Joe! Doing some research on life jackets. I am sailing a Nacra 5.5 in NC, USA, and need a jacket that is also a USCG approved. Do you have any recommendations of a USCG approved life vest or WIP hybrid that is still compatible with the trapeze hook?
I use a Crewsaver SZ50 - Or Kite 50 - i've used it for 15 years and I like it very much
Man if you make it any farther west you should stop in Lake Charles, La. I’d love to show you around our lake.
Maybe next time
Joe you are welcome to come to Phila or lewes Delaware and sail with me. Howard and Aaron we had such a great retime with you in Greece of course it’s my old hobie 16
Maybe next time. I'm just going to be in Ocean Springs now for this trip.
I like old boats)
Are you bringing your cat with you for the races? or all charter fleet?
I'm borrowing boats for the regattas.
Where's your next stop? I've got a '80 H16 here in LA Ca. that could use a captain that know's what he's doing!
Now in Ocean Springs Ms
As said before a pressure wash. :)
Yes! The tops of my hulls looked the same when I got it. Pressure washer and a coat of wax made it look near new!
@@skyhawk134Yes boat seems safer if it is clean
Nick did that as soon as he got it home.
@@JoyriderTV Then the opposite can be true, I went out on a friends very clean Hobie 16 and put my foot through the tramp
