Hobbie cat 16 single hull wanted

[TISPKJ]

Hi Guys, bit of a long shot but looking for an offside (port ? r/h if sitting on) if it were a car, hull or pontoon I think they call them for a Hobie Cat 16 please.

Broke a friends on holiday and need to help replace if possible.

Anyone have or know of a good condition used one please.

Regards

Right/offside is starboard. I would say you have almost no chance of getting one unless you buy new.

You say "broke it"...how, and what's the damage? It would have to be mangled to destruction to be past repairable...that would be your best bet.

A new one seems to be the answer except for that price you can buy a good used boat, thought someone may have or know of one lying around.

Boat is 20+ years old, only used for the summer holidays now, we managed to pull the cleat out that holds up the mast, that on its own would not be so bad but it pulled the top of the pontoon off most of it's length.

Im a water skier myself with a power boat so excuse the lack of sailing terms, I just crew each year when it's to windy / rough to ski.

Sounds repairable to me. I assume by cleat you mean chainplate or similar...have you got any pictures?

This might do the trick.

How on earth did you break a 16??

We hit an enterprise (wooden hulled dinghy) in ours. The enterpsise wen't home in bin sacks, we didn't even scratch the Gelcoat.

We did nearly get Catermarans banned from Grafham water though (only after doing the same trick to a dart 6000)

They are built like outside toilets

I'm probably too late, but this sounds quite repairable for sensible money (without having seen it of course). The chainplate is partially secured by the hull/deck join, and if this has just popped (deck/hull otherwise undamaged) it should be a straightforward repair to bond it back down.
