Reply to: Hobie 16 Hull Snap Off

[quote=DamonLinkous]Wait, are we arguing over why a hull failed on a 40 year old highly stressed fiberglass boat? I want in on this. It failed because it was really old, probably delaminated, had a deck port, was way overloaded and being sailed hard (and fun). Pick a couple of those. Effect doesn't indicate a cause, if I show you a 40 year old boat being sailed hard with front deck ports and it doesn't fail I'm not going to claim that means front deck ports are great. Alternately I've seen a lot of failed hulls on boats that don't have front ports, after seeing those I could claim that [b]lack of deck ports causes hull failure[/b]. It's winter, I'm cranky, anyone else?[/quote]
