[quote=klppurdy]Ok,

Got the boat out on the water this weekend.  Conditions were light (good), my daughter (14) and I were able to launch the boat off the boat ramp into the St John's river with no issues.  Sailed great, it was very noticeable different that the Hobie 16 when tacking and all around.  Sailed it for around 1 1/2 hours and even took a young man out who was at the club at the wrong time for Junior Sailing.

When we came back in, and tied the boat to a buoy in order to get the beach wheels, you could see a noticeable list.  Upon pulling the boat up the ramp, you could see water coming out of the daggerboard well. It was hard to tell but it looked like a cracked seam on the back of the well.  If it wasn't a seam, it was just a crack about 3-4 inches long.  I will try to get a light on it and some pictures.

Has anyone had experience with this type of repair?

Also, there are two little hooks on the hulls about 2-3 feet forward of the trampoline, what are those for?[/quote]
