WELCOME TO THE

HOBIE WAY OF LIFE

Congratulations on the purchase of your new HOBIE Getaway and welcome to the HOBIE® sailing family. The HOBIE

Getaway cannot be outgrown. It can be sailed by children up through senior citizens. 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 publication is to

provide easy, simple and accurate instructions on how to get your Getaway 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 sailboats. We suggest that you contact your local

sailboat dealer, college or Coast Guard Auxiliary for recommendations.

Watch for overhead wires whenever you are rigging, launching, sailing or trailering with the mast up. CONTACT 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 Getaway to you and hope that you'll take as much pride in owning her.

Fair winds and good sailing!
