Vin 7 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Hi everyone! After a lengthy hiatus from sailing and some overseas adventures COVID-19 has me back in New Zealand for the foreseeable future. I figured this was a good excuse to get back out on the water, and after owning a couple of smaller beach cats in the past, I thought that a Hobie 16 would be the perfect little boat to do a bit of sail-camping, coastal cruising, and have some fun on the lakes and harbours. I’m currently looking to buy a Hobie 16 on a warranted and registered road trailer. I don’t need anything too fancy and new as I won’t be racing, so older sails, rudders, and blocks etc are fine, but I would like something with decent hulls and no significant delamination. A couple of minor soft spots is fine. I’m located in Hamilton but would be willing to travel within the north island for the right boat. I’m looking to spend between $2000 and $2500, but could stretch this a little for something nice. If you’re loooking to sell, or know someone looking to sell, please send me a message on 02102200327, or email me at tehvin@gmail.com Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure when I’ll next be up north but if I haven’t found some something by then I’ll go take a look. Thanks for the tip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
