Hobie Wave

Many years ago our pal, Mike, came to visit us while we were cruising Mexico.  One day he rented a Hobie Wave for us to sail around the bay on.  It was so much fun he went home and found one for us to share.  Then, a few years ago, the Gough family offered to keep the Hobie on their dock in Naples and that’s when I fell in love with it.  In May and June when our homeschool group started going to the beach instead of the park, the kids and I would sail the Hobie to the beach and take friends for rides.  Last fall when we had to pack the Hobie up for storage we were all very sad that she was going to be left behind.

Last winter we kept dreaming of having the Hobie with us.  It would have been perfect to sail around the anchorage while Makai was resting from passages or working on being our home.  Eric kept scanning Craig’s list, measuring Makai’s bow to be sure it would fit and finally he found the perfect listing.

While my mom was visiting Eric and Roy borrowed the car and drove to Maine for this little beauty.  

It came with a trailer they had to get registered.  Now Eric’s many vehicle registrations include California, Colorado, US Virgin Islands, and Maine. We later disassembled the trailer and put the pieces in the back of my Mom’s car.  Thanks Mom for transporting and storing the trailer.

After putting it together Eric discovered the battens were forgotten in Maine.  I went to a local sailmaker for replacements.  They do the job, but will need to get Hobie battens.  This boat doesn’t have a boom, the battens do all the work giving the sail it’s shape.

We’re giving the Hobie a good workout in Block Island’s New Harbor and look forward to sailing it in the tropics this winter.
