i have a question for you all: what holds the screw that secures the forestay bridle tang on a hobie 14? i would like to install a crosspiece between the hulls. does anybody here know about this?
thanks
jon
Damon: I think the newer 14 bow tangs are as you describe (like the 16), but the older ones like mine are a eyestrap thingy with four screws sort of in the middle of the front part of the bow.
jon: According to this thread, there's a backing plate in there:
thanks rattlehum
mine has a single bolt holding the tang. there are no missing bolts. i guess that the backing plate is similar.
boat progressing along fine. winter is almost here.
