[quote=DamonLinkous][quote=fa1321]Yeah Damon why wasnt this in the tech gallery? Lol! I would have not had this happen to me [url]http://surfsidesailing.wordpress.com/2011/06/17/my-h18-hull-failed-today/[/url] I thought its was 86-88 so I bought an 84 but i learned fast about the issue.[/quote]
Ouch, that's sad to see. I'm developing quite a library of "1984 Hobie 18's with their bow broke off" pictures. :sad:

It is interesting that almost all of the failures I've seen have been with 1984 boats. This could be simply because they sold more boats in 84 than 85-86 or maybe there was a really crappy fiberglass worker at Hobie in 1984. Hey, maybe he was a disgruntled employee, I can just see it...
"I'll get you Hobie Cat! I'm laying up this fiberglass so it only lasts 20-30 years! That will show you." :-P[/quote]
