Sorry for the delay, Bob--I'm 9 hours on the other side of the planet right now. I bought my Hobie used from a private party in NorCal, but I know there is a dealer in Sacramento, because I've bought parts there.

If I can add one word of caution after buying a lot of sailboats, it is to make sure you get good sails with the boat. Sails are, without any doubt, the most expensive part of the boat, and novice sailors have a way of putting them through a lot of stress! If they aren't in good shape when you give them to her, she is likely to trash them before she really learns the boat.

Good luck! The Hobie is a thrill ride for an athletic and fearless person, which is why I haven't sailed mine in five years! Hahaha!

I've been out of the Hobie scene for some time now. Here's a link to a San Diego dealer---you might want to call them:
http://www.fastlanesailing.com/
And the Hobie web site: http://www.hobiecat.com/
Craigslist is always a good spot to find boats like these. There's a Craigslist in every village.
