Sorry to hear that! Hope you're OK? It's of no consulation, but, it seems like 90% of damage to boats seems to happen when they're NOT in the water.
We missed you at the regatta and wondered where you were. Have you checked in with Fleet 131 yet? Seems like someone would have an old base, although the stops get worn down. You may want to buy new.

He wire fed aluminum on to the base, then ground it to shape, then drilled a new hole. It now works great, and is actually tougher and better than what Hobie did.

Posts: 251 beaufort, sc | i saw one on ebay not long ago, just type in 'hobie 16' and see what comes up. good luck, i broke mine recently too. fortunately my boat stays at a club with mast up. the mast can be "raised" into position easily with the boat on the ground, propped up on one side (i used a kayak paddle to prop mine up) and the mast 'horizontal'(the mast tip resting on the ground).
