Where you get replacement wires, bolts, nuts, shackles, lines, hiking sticks, dog bones and other non-proprietary parts for a Hobie Cat does not necessarily conflict with the rules. Review the rules to be sure if you have a question: Hobie Class Rules (pdf)

Many of the rules have been in place since Hobie Cat created the class and was running the Class Association with a full time staff. The Hobie Cat Company (USA) no longer controls the class or the rules. Of course we maintain a vote on the rules comittee as does Hobie Cat France.
