[quote=Dogboy]That's pretty darn ugly.
I think those Hobie 15s are really intended for kids/youth and from the looks of the video, two full grown men were sailing the boat in strong conditions, so I suspect the thing was overloaded. You can see the front crossbar flexing/inverting in the video and the whole rig is leaning way over. That should have been an indication that something wasn't right. Not so sure that failure was caused by a loose dolphin striker. I think it was probably just too much weight on board for the amount of wind.
