I got a new-to-me Hobie 16 a few weeks ago. In the process of repairing/upgrading everything I discovered the luff track was broke. So I ordered a new one. Well, as I was taking the old one off I discovered a few issues. The previous owner had glued the old track where it split in place (that's the white crude in the photo), so as I removed the old one the edge cracked out in a few places. I think that will be ok.... The big issue, though, is the comp tip seam has split about 2 feet. This is 18 inches or so from the base of the comp tip.
It actually looks worse in the picture. I can squeeze it back together pretty easy, but I don't want it getting worse, leaking water, or breaking any more luff tracks...
How should I go about repairing this? I searched the forums, but didn't find a crack quite like this one...
Thanks for the advice!
