Reply to: Hobie 14 Mast Head Question

[quote=robpatt]should be a foam plug glued in at or just below the halyard hook... you could replace the rivets no big deal... if the holes have corrosion, drill new ones we've swapped a few all alu H14 masts here at OSYC converting them to Wave size.. which means: - cut them shorter - install new or relocate the shroud tang - change out mast base - change out mast head - install hobie bob all said and done maybe 1 hour.. talking about Waves... some "durability" issues we've learned from our more or less rental Wave fleet: - double up the shroud tangs on the hulls... use two... just 1 and it'll break. - order 'plus size' rigging (typically from Murrays) - comptips can't take a beating from sailing school, etc, etc... - old style tramps are a drag - buy drain plugs with a hole in the thumb tab for screwing them in... tie a line through the hole or you'll burn $$ buying drain plugs 2 or 3 times a season...!! - if you don't DEMAND folks to turn the boats into the wind while on the beach you WILL rip sails when battens poke through... - TAPE the tail of the bowline... or else SPLICE, the righting line to the boat... otherwise folks untie the righting line when they think they're untying the tie-down line (to the ground)... then they leave the untied righting line on the beach... go sail.... flip... and say "I couldn't right the boat because it didn't have a righting line..." Ah... gotta bring out the Beach NAZI Big GUNS... cheers! - Rob.[/quote]
