There's a stainless pad eye just forward of the carry handle on both amas on the 2012 TI I just got. Nothing like that on my AI. Could someone please tell me the purpose of those pad eyes? Thanks. |

Hmmm, if I were Hobie, and thinking of making a headsail option, I would then think about triangulating support for the mast head, via two rearward leaning sidestay plus a forestay (and some sort of swivelling masthead fitting to continue with roller furling). So I would make a slight running change to the Amas to include the future sidestay fitting.... Just thinking out loud Sorry Bob, we were both thinking the same thing! Great minds etc
