I was flying a hull and having fun in 16-18 mph wind when CRACK! 
I nearly cried. My 2 boys and I had just won first place in the Novice class the weekend before at the Texas City Dike -Wayward Winds Regatta. It was our first race. At least the boat died a winner! or maybe it will live again? (see post under repair forum if you want to suggest a fix) Splash - a 1973 Hobie 16

I've seen that type of break before, but not on a 16. It's repairable. Rick Buchanan is the Bob Vila of Hobie Cats. |

Wow! Nice looking 1973 model! Yes, we have seen rail failures in the past, but not for some time. |

CW's boat did that same exact thing last year. I thought it looked like a cooler lid the way it was flipped up. |

Oh it's killing me that its in this condition. I 've only had it for a year and a half. I made a new trampoline for it and we sailed it lots. Its been a fun boat and well worth the price I paid. I'm looking into having it repaired. I'm not patient enough to do a good job myself. Here's a few fun memories and a video from last summer

Yea, except when you go for your beer, your mast falls down! |
