Hello Folks,
As some of you already know, I made a bunch of brackets to attach the Hobie Baby Bob atop the C-14 mast. The "Bob" provides 32 lbs of buoyancy and prevents turtling if the C-14 is blown over.
Since the original thread about the problem, the brackets have been trickling out about one every three months. This past weekend, I fitted the remaining pieces with the assumption everyone has the same mast profile, and I assembled the pieces together which leaves 9 brackets ready for sale.
With the additional labor, the cost, including shipping, is $20 per bracket. As a professional cabinetmaker, I can assure you I'm losing money on the deal. You will still have to buy the 4 machine screws/nuts to attach the Bob, and figure out how you're going to secure the bracket to your mast. A couple suggestions will be included with each sale. One method is to drill a hole through the mast and bracket, and then slip in a 1/4" bolt. Another is to tie the Bob down with line. Pictures are at the above thread.
If you want one, send me a private message. Once they're gone, that's it. I'm not making any more.
Thanks!
Jim
