RIGHTING Since it is predictable that you will eventually capsize your Hobie Ca~ and because it can be assured that you will not have this manual for reference at the time (it will float away), please familiarize yourself thoroughly with what follows: Always carry a 15 to 20 foot long righting line aboard your Hobie <!> 16.
Helpful hint: Try to get the mast pointed into the wind so it will help you right the boat. This can be accomplished by shifting your weight to one end or the other and allowing the wind to "weathervane" the boat around. A mast- head that is stuck in a muddy bottom can be freed in like fashion.
