Getting the Hobie 18 ready for the summer. I wanted to put reinforcement plates on both sides front crossbar and on the shrouds but have only been able to come up with 4 of them. So I was thinking of just putting the ones on the outside front crossbar and shrouds. My thinking is when you flying a hull the outside would have most stress the inner would just be compressive load and use the other 2 for shrouds am I thinking right or missing something ?
Thanks

I have 2 reinforcement plates you can I have, I don’t own my 18 anymore so they are basically taking up space in my spare parts box. PM me your address and they’re yours. -

That’s paying it forward. They are hard to find, & sell for around $20 each, when you can find them.
