[quote=pbegle]You can explain to the city council that the reason for plastic top on all US made hobies was for settlement of an expensive lawsuit after the 7th kid died in the early '70's. My invited crew mate (and a certain buyer) died on the factory Stiletto 30 prototype in 1980 in Sarasota, Fl. I personally caused several wires to be raised in Michigan and just missed a wire going up a creek on the Bruce Grey penninsula of Georgion Bay. Canada Power quickly raised that one. The country wasn"t ready for the new tall mast breed of sailboat in the '70"s and incidents happened everywhere. Pete[/quote]
