What was the problem with the boards? Not familiar with what they are supposed to look like, was that hook thingy broken off?

Yep.....While I haven't personally seen one, Hobie 17 sailors reportedly have hooky thingys that will break off when subjected to rough treatment! They even dedicated a long article on hooky thingy surgery in the This Old Hobie ((AKA Hobie Journal Of Medicine) section of the Winter 2013 Hobie Hotline.

~~ I took a pict of one of my good ones, but didn't download it yet. I'll do it later. We have what we call ''Newbie Tuesday'' for our new cat sailors and show them what it's all about and take em for a ride and explain things to them ETC ETC That starts in a little while, so I gotta get my Arse moving :-O
