Good intro to the Wave. Be sure to actually downhaul the downhaul. You should loop the line down though the cleat and back up through the eyelet in the sail. Then pull down really hard and use a proper clear hitch to tie it off at the cleat.

You’re welcome! I found mine on Craigslist. FB marketplace is another good source for a used one. You won’t regret it!

Where did you find the keeling bars? I can't seem to find any online!

They came with the boat I bought used a few years ago. Hope you can find them, it makes a huge difference in the sailing experience!!

can you sit on those wings? if not, can they be changed to the ones like on the getaway?

Is this boat ok for 190cm tall man please? Any advice for a beginer?

Yes would work well, the boom might be a little low, but it is soft! I have another video on my channel about sailing this boat for beginners so check that out ! Thanks!

I'm not sure if your righting line is setup correctly, looking at the manual I believe it shows it connected to the brow crossbar, and the extra line being stored in the pocket. It look's weird that it is tight like that around the mast. I regularly use mine - kzread.info/dash/bejne/YnZ_2Ziwqq-Xcqw.htmlsi=99EkUwp_K-xVKJYx&t=112 and not sure how it would work on your Hobie

I have never had to use the righting line on this boat - when I bought it, there was one line across the stern, and it was a bit loose. I added the other one down the side and across the front just to have something else to hold on to. Thanks for the comment and your video!

@@upnorthguy At least once or twice a season I put mine over, so I’m regularly practicing the capsize drill. And when I have passengers or victims I walk them thru the drill so they don’t panic too much. I regularly push my hobie to edge and typically only go out on the extreme days.

Is that Otsego Lake?
