The material that was used for the dagger board stop, which will hold it in position when I change setting or pull it up to beach the boat has worn out and cracked due to age and material fatigue. Can anyone tell me what to use for replacement. I considered using the Hobie Tiger parts, but I am not sure if they would work. Getting factory parts from the Netherlands appears to be a major undertaking.
Have you checked with a local dealer (I presume you are talking about a Nacra?). This is a very common item and most should have it on hand.
Are we talking about the carpet at the top of the trunk?
I think he's talking about the rectangular piece of white rubber material that screws into the side of the daggerboard trunk and keeps some side force on the board.
In a pinch, cut a square out of a piece of vinyl tubing. Actually works better than the factory crap.
Is that what you are looking for?
