The CX6 is the all-carbon Arriba Stick with extended length for Hobie 17s and 18s with wings or other 12' wide boats.  Competitive racers choose carbon equipment, like the CX6, for greater strength and lighter weight than other materials, like fiberglass.    With 63½" standing length, the CX6 is the ultimate in maneuverability, extending to a full 119" and weighing only 1lb. 1.3oz. This is an amazing product....You should feel the difference of Carbon! The CX6 comes equipped with rubber end grip and lighter-weight hardware to attach it to the tiller cross bar.
