I need to do some fine tuning and figure out all the hardware and shims for attaching it but I think this will work. I may add another brace from the piece of wood at the bottom of the mast tube to the bottom of the hull.

I picked up the Hobie TI front crossarm today. The below photos are a quick clamp together of the parts to see if it works. The spacing is great. The mast dropped in fine and locked in with a sharp "click". The release worked fine also.

Interesting that this minimal mast-bury is enough for a relatively stiff (non-heeling) trimaran mode.
ReplyDeleteIt works on the Hobie TI, it should work here.
ReplyDeleteI agree, just wondering why. Is the piece glass, carbon, Al, SS?
ReplyDeleteHi. I am considering using a Hobbie Adventure mast and sail for my dinghy. Did you get this up and running?
