Hobie Wave Manuale utente

WELCOME TO THE

HOBIE WAY OF LIFE

Congratulations on the purchase of your new

Wave

and welcome to the HOBIE® sailing family. The HOBIE

Wave

cannot be outgrown. It can be sailed by children up through senior citizens. A 90-pound youth can han-

dle it easily – a single adult can sail it at top performance – and a crew of four can cruise in comfort.

We offer this manual as a guide to increased safety and enjoyment of your new boat. The purpose of this pub-

lication is to provide easy, simple and accurate instructions on how to get your

Wave

ready for the water.

Please read them carefully and familiarize yourself with the boat and all of the parts spread before you.

Whether you are a new sailor or a veteran of many years, we recommend that you read this thoroughly before

your first sail and TRY IT OUR WAY FIRST! If you are new to sailing, this manual alone is not intended to

teach you how to sail. There are many excellent books, videos and courses on the safe handling of small sail-

boats. We suggest that you contact your local sailboat dealer, college or Coast Guard Auxiliary for recommen-

dations.

Watch for overhead wires whenever you are rigging, launching, sailing or trailering with the mast up.

CON-

TACT OF THE MAST WITH POWER LINES COULD BE FATAL!

Be certain that the rigging area and the area

that you will be sailing in are free of overhead power lines. Report any such power lines to your local power

authority and SAIL ELSEWHERE.

We take pride in presenting the

Wave

to you and hope that you'll take as much pride in owning her.

Fair winds and good sailing!

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

KNOTS TO USE

FIGURE 8 KNOT BOWLINE KNOT HALYARD KNOT CLEATING OFF A LINE

1. 2.

FIGURE 8 KNOT

AT END OF LINE

1. THE HULLS

Lay the hulls on the ground on their sides with the bot-

toms to the center (graphics down) as in figure 1. A tarp

or pads may be desirable under the hull if the ground

surface is rough. Place the hulls about six feet apart.

There is one plug in the rear of each hull (shown inset).

These plugs are used to drain the hulls. The plugs

should be in place before sailing. Remove the plugs

after sailing to drain any water that may have leaked

into the hulls. It is best to travel with and store the boat

with the plugs removed to allow for pressure changes

due to heating, cooling and altitude changes. This will

prevent warping of the hull surface.

2. CROSSBARS AND TRAMPOLINE

ASSEMBLY

Figure 2a shows an example of the assembled trampo-

line assembly. To assemble the cross bars and trampo-

line onto the hulls, first locate the crossbars and trampo-

line. These parts are partly pre-assembled by the facto-

ry.

"SEE CLUB"

Un-roll the trampoline assembly and position it between

the hulls. The front of the trampoline has a rope molded

into the edge seam and two "D" rings molded onto the

top surface. The sides and rear of the trampoline have

loops and cut outs along the edges. The front crossbar

has a casting with mast step ball located on the top cen-

ter. The rear crossbar has (4) webbing straps with vel-

cro and a small stainless steel loop fitting on the top and

center.

FIGURE 1a

FIGURE 2a

PLUG

It will not be necessary to detach the cross bars from

the trampoline during future disassembly and assembly.

Once the trampoline is assembled to the cross bars

and they are in position, check to see that the velcro

straps at the rear are

loosely

fastened.

Lift the front crossbar

and insert the left end

into the left hull. Insert

only partially. Lift the

rear cross bar and

insert the left end into

the left hull. Keep the

straps rolled around the

rear cross bar as in fig-

ure 2d(5). Insert front

and rear completely

(see figure 2e). The

cross bars have stops

built into the underside

that will limit the depth

the cross bar can be

inserted.

Reach up and hold the right end of the front crossbar,

and pull it down. This will rotate the left hull to the

upright position. Straddle the right hull and rotate it to

the upright position by grabbing the cross bar insert hole

on the outboard side and pulling the hull to vertical.

Insert the front cross bar

partially. Align and

insert the rear cross bar

partially. Working front

and rear, wiggle hull

onto cross bars until

fully inserted as in

figure 2f.

Upon first time assembly, you will need to feed the tram-

poline into the front cross bar. Remove one of the eye

straps and block fittings with

cable located near each end of

the forward cross bar (figure

2b) by loosening the screws just

enough to slide the fitting out of

the bar.

Slide the trampoline into the

front cross bar with the hiking

straps up. Replace the eye strap

and block fitting to its original

position and tighten.

Upon first time assembly it will then be necessary to

feed the trampoline lace rod into the pocket at the rear

of the trampoline (figure 2c). Position it with equal

amounts extending from each side of the trampoline.

Position the rear cross bar along the rear of trampoline.

Place it with the open track towards the trampoline and

the small stainless steel loop fitting at the center on top.

Position the four webbing straps (with velcro) in line with

the openings that the lace rod passes through.

Pass the velcro straps

over the top of the bar

and away from the tram-

poline as in figure 2d(1).

Pass the webbing for-

ward then around the

lace rod through the

trampoline opening from

top to bottom as shown in

figure 2d(3).

FIGURE 2d(3)

FIGURE 2d(4)

Bring the Webbing back

around the rear bar in the

opposite direction.

Repeat the previous

steps for each strap.

Then tuck each one

under the velcro flaps.

Fasten the velcro straps

back to their anchors

loosely.

FIGURE 2d(5)

Pass the two trampoline cables from the front crossbar

through the trampoline side loops to the rear crossbar.

As shown (

from the underside of the trampoline

) in

figure 2g, on each side at the rear crossbar, locate the

line that runs from the rear corner pulley block. Pass the

line to the rear trampoline "D" ring and return through

the small pulley block. Pass the end of the line through

the trampoline cable end fitting and tie a "figure 8" knot

as shown in the knot diagrams on page 4.

FIGURE 2g (rear corner,

underside

)

FIGURE 2h (top view)

To tension the trampo-

line, you will use the

mainsheet system (block

and tackle). Find the

mainsheet system locat-

ed with the small parts.

The system line is pre-

run by the factory. Attach

the shackle at the bottom

of the blocks to the stainless steel loop fitting in the cen-

ter of the rear cross bar. Pull the mainsheet hook, at the

top of the system, up to the front of the trampoline. Hook

the mainsheet to the ring fastened to the trampoline

cable system at front of trampoline as in figure 3b. (Do

Not fasten the mainsheet hook to the "D" ring that is

attached to the trampoline) Start on either left or right

side.

Pull tension on the main-

sheet until the cable sys-

tem ring and hook near

the "D" ring attached to

the trampoline (FIGURE

3c). Position hook to

engage ring thereby con-

necting the two rings

together as in figure 3d.

Release the mainsheet

tension and unhook from

ring. Repeat the process

on the opposite side. Be

sure all "D" rings are

positioned as shown and

not turned or pulled from

ends as damage to the

trampoline may result.

Additional tension or reduced tension can be achieved by

repositioning the knot as shown in figure 3f at rear end

of cable (after disengaging the forward rings). The cables

should be tight to make the trampoline area taut. Unhook

rings at front, move knot and re-hook forward rings.

Repeat until trampoline area is taut. In future assembly

this adjustment will not be necessary unless trampoline

becomes loose once again.

Tighten each velcro strap (4) to support the trampoline at

the rear crossbar.

FIGURE 3d

FIGURE 3f

FIGURE 3b

FIGURE 3c

Figure 2h is the top view of same. Making adjustments

and re-tying the knot at the pulley block will loosen or

tighten the side cables. The cables should be some-

what loose at this time. Be sure the "D" rings remain as

pictured above and not pulled from one end when

loaded as damage may result.

3. TENSIONING TRAMPOLINE

As shown in figure 3a,

hook the trampoline side

cables onto the three

hooks on each hull. (

you are re-assembling,

be sure that the main-

sheet system is loose or

disconnected from ring

at front of trampoline to

keep cables loose

). FIGURE 3a

Adjust knot here

Attach the multi-hole adjuster to

the forestay as shown in figure

5b with the clevis pin and ring

at the end hole of the adjuster

(top of the 7 holes). This is the

loose adjustment for first

assembly (photo shows third

hole down). Shackle the bridle

wires (thimble loop end) to the

bottom of the adjuster.

"SEE

CLUB"

This leaves the spring

hooks at the very end of the

forestay/ adjuster/ bridle

assembly.

5. MAST WIRES

The mast will be held in the upright position by two side

wires (shrouds) and one front wire (forestay). The

forestay will attach to two shorter wires (bridles) with a

"7 hole" adjuster. Locate the three main (longer) wires

and install onto the mast tang as shown in figure 5a

using the 1/4" threaded shackle provided in the rig kit.

The shorter forestay wire goes in the middle of the

shackle with one shroud on either side.

"SEE CLUB"

4. MAST ASSEMBLY

The mast is in two sections. The bottom section is alu-

minum and displays the warnings against sailing and

assembling near overhead wires and power lines.

Before raising the mast check again that you are in a

safe area and always remember this warning. Insert the

upper section into the lower section.

Install the mast float to the upper mast section as in fig-

ure 4. First time assembly will require the removal of the

two halyard pulley clevis pins, placement of the float

assembly over the mast top casting and replacing the

clevis pins with the screws and nuts provided with the

float assembly. Be sure the blunt end of the float is fac-

ing forward towards blunt side of the mast.

FIGURE 5a

6. STEPPING THE MAST

To set the mast into the upright position, position the

mast base at the mast step ball located on the front

crossbar as shown in figure 6a(1). The mast top and

float should be positioned to the rear of the boat in the

center of the rear crossbar.

FIGURE 6a(1)

FIGURE 5b

FIGURE 6a(2)

Connect the mast base to the step ball by positioning

the step ball inside the mast base cup. Pass the pin

through the mast base as shown in figure 6a(2).

FIGURE 4

Check to be sure that the wires are not crossed.

Connect the left side shroud to the left hull with the

opposing hooks as shown in figure 6b and 6c.

Pass the split ring through the small hole in the two

hooks to lock them together as in figure 6c.

Slide the vinyl boot over the hook assembly to lock it in

place as in figure 6d. The top of the boot must engage

the wire swage (swage must protrude from top of boot)

to prevent them from moving up the wire and possibly

allowing the ring to be exposed. Repeat for right side

shroud.

Check wires to be sure they are not crossed and that they

are free to allow the mast to swing to the upright position.

If you are stepping the mast by yourself or just to make

things easier, pull the sail halyard hook forward, over the

top of the shroud wires, to the bow. Hook into the bridle

wire fitting. Loosely tie opposite end of halyard to the

cleat at bottom end of the mast. This line will be used to

hold mast in the upright position before forestay and bri-

dle wires assembly are attached to the bow fittings.

Before continuing, once again check for overhead

power line wires that could contact the mast when

raising.

Stand on the trampoline near the rear crossbar and lift

the mast to your shoulder (figure 6f).

Face forward on the

boat with a wide stance

for stability. Walk for-

ward while lifting the

mast until the side

shrouds go tight pre-

venting the mast from

further forward move-

ment. Lean your weight

against the mast to

hold it in this position.

See figure 6g.

Reach down to the

halyard cleat and pull

the halyard line tight.

Fasten the line to the

cleat in a secure manner as shown in "Knots" on page

FIGURE 6c

FIGURE 6b

FIGURE 6g

FIGURE 6f

FIGURE 6d

As shown in figure 6a(3) below, pass the long pin

through the mast base. There is a small spring loaded

ball lock that will keep the pin captive in the mast base.

For safety, the pin should remain in the mast base while

sailing.

FIGURE 6a(3)

WARNING!!

Watch for overhead power lines. Never rig,

trailer or sail the boat near overhead power

lines. Mast contact with a power line

could be fatal.
