Hi I am new to Hobie and have bought an old 14. I was surprised to find that all three stays and the trapaze wires went to the same point on the mast. This seems a lot of tension for 4 rivets. The rivets seem sound but is it wise to strengthen the bracket in some way. Has anybody done this or am I worrying too much? Bryan (Ireland) |

You worry too much. This tang design was from 1967 and stayed pretty much the same since... no problem. Trapeze was added much later... still no change and no problem. 6 Rivets I believe... |

If you really want to worry look at the mast tang on a Hobie 21SE |
