Post subject:  furling unit loosened from the mast

Hello

My name is Kaare and I am living in Oslo, Norway.

I bought the 2010 AI in June, and I am experiencing some problems.

The furling unit in the mast is glued. The unit has slipped, and are now lose.

The additive used does not attach itself to the plastic.

You may say that I applied too much tension between the sail and the furling unit, but I am of the opinion that I applied normal tension in the rope.

Never the less, when I removed the furling unit entirely, it became obvious that the gluing process is inaccurate for the purpose.
I will contact the local dealer for advice, but I consider this also relevant production within Hobie co.
Best regards Kaare
