MANUAL
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!

THE HULLS
Lay the hulls on the ground, on their sides with bottoms to the
center (graphics down), as shown above. A tarpoline or pads
under the hull may be desirable if the ground surface is rough.
Place the hulls about seven feet apart.
CROSSBARS AND
TRAMPOLINES
The forward and main
trampolines are rolled
onto the front crossbar.
Position the crossbar
between the hulls near
the forward cross bar
sleeve in each hull.
The Bow Spreader Bar
has slides, eye straps,
bridle wires (2) and the
roller furler installed.
Position it near the
recesses on each bow.
Remove the bolt that is
threaded into the
plastic block on each
end of the Bow
Spreader Pole.

The rear crossbar has the main sheet traveler car and swivel
cam cleat installed. Position it near the aft crossbar sleeve in
each hull.
Note: There is one plug in the rear of each hull. These plugs
are used to drain the hulls. The plugs should be in place
before sailing. Remove the plugs after sailing to drain any
water that may have leaked into the hulls. It is best to travel
with and store the boat with the plugs removed to allow for
pressure changes due to heating, cooling and altitude
changes. This will prevent warping of the hull surface.
Slide the other hull onto
the crossbars until the
hulls come in contact
with the stop plates
(located on the
underside of the main
and aft crossbars).
Lifting one hull, or the
other, at the rear can
help align the socket
for the forward
spreader bar.
Using a cross bar as a lever arm, pull the hull to an upright
position so that the crossbars are horizontal.
Insert the crossbars into one hull. See
that the crossbars seat fully into their
sockets in the hull.
Unroll the trampolines from the forward crossbar. Slide the
main trampoline bolt ropes into the hull trampoline tracks.
Soapy water can be used as a lubricant (Do not use an oil or
silicon lubricant on the trampoline track or the bolt rope).
Sliding the bolt rope into the track is a 2 person job. One
person should pull the trampoline and the other feed the bolt
rope into the track.
Be sure the
forward
spreader is fully
seated in both
hulls.
Re-Install the screws
into each end form
the outside of the
hull. Do not over
tighten or compress
the plastic hull
material.

Carefully feed the
trampoline into the tracks.
Continue to feed the
trampoline equally on both
sides.
As the trampoline becomes more
difficult to feed, Alternate from one
side to the other keeping the
trampoline somewhat even. You can
sit or lay on the trampoline to stretch
it a bit.
Work your way across the
trampoline to the other
side, then tie off with half
hitches.
Pass the line through the
grommet in the trampoline.
Pass the line back through the
eyelet, then over to the first
slide. Pass the line to the first
cutout and around the rod.
Then back to the first slide.
Continue to each slide and
cutout across the tramp.
Come back to the starting
point and begin tightening
the lace line to pull the
trampoline tight.
After both main trampoline halves are in place, but not laced,
install the forward trampoline following the same technique as
with the main. Except, because the forward trampoline is one
piece, it is necessary to
alternate from side to side
while feeding it into the
tracks.
Once the forward
trampoline is
nearly all the way
into the track it
may be
necessary to use
the Bow
Spreader Pole for
leverage to pull it taught. Tie a lace line to the grommet. Wrap
the line around the beam and then pass it back through the
grommet again. This will create a 3:1 purchase to help pull the
trampoline forward. Once again, alternate from side to side to
keep the trampoline even. Carefully feed at the opposite end
to prevent the trampoline from getting wedged in the track
opening. Pull the trampoline all the way tight.
LACE FORWARD TRAMPOLINE - Slide
the longer (of the two provided) lace rod
into the forward trampolines pocket. Tie
the lace
line to the
eyelet.
6
LACE MAIN TRAMPOLINE - Tie a bowline knot to the forward
left/port grommet in the
trampoline.
Pass the line through the
opposite grommet, top/down
and then through the lacing
flap.
Come up through the next
(left) grommet and then
continue to lace towards
the aft of the trampoline
following this pattern
(down through the right
grommets and up through
the left grommets). Keep
the laces loose at this time. Lace as far aft as the line will go.
Locate the aft lace rod. Feed
the rod through the rear pocket
as shown. Center the rod, from
left to right, in the pocket.
Locate the aft lace lines. Tie
to the rear grommets using a
long looped bowline as shown
(left and right sides).
Let the tramp hang below the aft
crossbar. Pull the lace lines under
the cross bar and tight. Begin the
aft lacing by routing the left line up
and over the first lace peg.
Cross over to the next peg
then down and around the
rod. Pull the lace line tight
then up and over the peg
and then over to the next
one and so on... Then
start with the right side
and work towards the
center.
Image to left shows the proper
routing of the lace lines around
rod and peg.
When you reach the center,
the pattern must be changed
slightly. Pass up and over the
last peg, before the center, and then down around the rod in
the gap between tramp halfs. Then, come up and through the
trampoline grommet on the
opposite side. Once tied off
loosely at the center, cinch the
line tight from each side working
towards the center.
Tie off to the main
trampoline grommets just
forward of the aft cross
bar.
Once the aft lace is tight, begin
cinching the center lace tight
from forward to aft. You will
notice that as you get the
trampoline tight you will have
more lace line aft to complete the
lacing.
Work your way aft until the entire trampoline is
tight. Tie off the line with a few half hitches.
Tuck the lace flap into the
opposite side lace line. The
flap will help keep you drier
while sailing and keep lines
from slipping into the water
between the laces.

Insert the upper section into the lower section. *We
recommend that the upper
section be bonded into the lower
section with epoxy. The mast
can be used without bonding the
upper section into the lower to
make storage easier if desired.
Install the mast float to the upper
mast section as shown. Be sure
the blunt end of the float is facing
forward towards blunt side of the
mast. You may have to loosen
the bracket bolts that pass
through the mast head to get the
screws aligned in the float.
Pass the halyard line through the
mast head from rear (track side) to
front. Pull both ends of the halyard
down the mast and tie off at the
halyard cleat on the side of the
mast near the base.
MAST ASSEMBLY
To step the mast upright, position the
mast base next to the mast step ball.
The mast top and float should be
positioned to the rear of the boat in
the center of the rear crossbar. The
arrow stickers
on the mast and
main crossbar
must be aligned.
Turn the mast onto it’s side to align
the arrows.
MAST ASSEMBLY
WARNING!!
The lower section of the mast is aluminum
and displays warnings against assembling and sailing
near overhead wires and
power lines. The upper
section is fiberglass and is
designed to help prevent
injury that can occur if the
mast does contact a high
power line. Before raising the
mast, check that you are in a
safe area and always
remember this warning.
* Getaway mast extrusion to CompTip assembly
(normally performed by dealer prior to delivery)
The purpose is to bond the two section together and
seal out water. This will also keep the joint in proper
alignment. This can affect sail shape if the fit
becomes loose.
Use some masking tape or the like, and mask off the
area above and below the joint to make clean up
easier. Also block off the luff tracks to prevent glue
from bridging the sail openings due to excess glue
oozing out of the joint.
Be prepared to use force during the insertion. Air
trapped inside the joint can prevent easy insertion.
(The small black cap just below the joint can be
removed and an air-release path can be poked
through the foam if needed.) Place the mast on saw
horses or blocks. Place the base of the mast against
a solid, padded object.
Apply the bonding agent to the inside and outside of
the mating sections. Fit the two parts together as far
as possible. If force is required, hold the upper
section and pull the entire assembly a few inches
away from the “solid object” (wall, tree, post) slide
the assembly up against the “solid object” with some
force. When the mast assembly (base) contacts the
“solid object” the inertia will help slide the CompTip
(upper section) deeper into the lower section.
Repeat as many times as necessary to fully seat the
sections together.
Prop the mast up so that the track is straight up and
then sight down the length with your eye to check the
alignment at the joint. Straighten if necessary.
Remove masking tape before glue dries.
Allow bonding agent to dry.
