I will use SS to make the straps, no too crazy about galvanized. Great looking hi tech project Cat scanner !!! : ) Great Ideas and thanks much from the Florida Keys
could a guy try to fly a 2 stringed kite in the TI for fun, as I see these kites are crazy active, thinking to not set up the mast and paddle out a bit and then use kite, or use a smaller kite that is used kite surfing
Great meeting you today. I'm going to start working on my TI this week. Hope to run into you at Jordan Lake again soon.
Some of what you see in this video isn't necessary unless you sail in very heavy air.
Always thinking and improving. Thank you so much for your helpful tips.
Have several AI's and just got an older TI. Just completed the gudgeon repair that you recommended. Thank you for the suggestion.
This video is still relevant! Thank you!

Where did you get this wonderful compass you have there?
Why not tape sandpaper to the mounting surface itself?
at 3:30 , I've done the same, tape the sandpaper to the surface itself provides the true shape 👍
Good tip...will do...
BTW, I see a Wind Ryder there too. May I ask which two boats you like best?
For sailing or fishing?
Very different boats. For fishing, the TI due to the Mirage Drive.
Great tips. Thanku.
Why didn't you tape the sandpaper to the transom of the hull and use the actual of the boat instead of a paint can
Easier to work on the table and the paint can allows a longer stroke.
The gudgeon deal is really embarrassing for Hobie.
limiting straps to stop being mangled in the face when breaking?
try the round end of a electric 3-4" belt sander, could work ? thanks for your vid's
what is this black knob on the TI? I once opened a little and there was air pressure inside. is this normal?
Where did you get those compases? Model number and manufacturer?
They are Ritchie sailing models. X-Port Tactician.
Just watched your video. Im about to purchase a 2020 TI. Did hobie fix these prolems? Thanks.
These weren't "problems" per se - they are just ways to make a very good boat even better.
Why didn't you tape the sand paper to the surface it is mounting to for shaping?
The stroke length is too short.

Maybe tape sandpaper to stern instead of paint can?
The paint can allows for a longer sanding stroke. But you can use the stern if you like.
3d print it
Also, if you want to put tramps on it would be more difficult.
You have to decide what your priority is.
That is true, Depending on the weather and my intentions I leave the tramps off on rough days since I rolled it.
