Hi all,
My Hobie FX-One has comfort wings.
This season, Putting the starboard wing on is currently not possible for some reason.
The port wing inserts fine.
It feels like something is blocking inserting the starbord wing into the forward beam.
The red circle marks what I suspect blocks the wing.
The boat has not crashed into anything, or been dropped.
Anyone have an idea about what has caused the starboard beam to block the wing?
Also, does it make a difference for the strength of the beam?
And of course, any ideas about fixing the problem, would be great.
Here is an image looking into the forward starboard beam (apologies for the quality):

Hi Jens,
Checked the FX-One spare parts list and there is no replacement for the inner reinforcement. To me it seem like they have added a ring of some material in one of the holes, to fit the wing tubes. Is there a reinforcement at the outer bolt too, or just the beam cap? You anyway have to reach it, fix it and put it back. Check the port side to see how it should look.

Inserting the wing in a Hobie FX-One sailboat can be tricky due to misalignment or improper technique. Ensure that the wing is oriented correctly before attempting installation. Check for any obstruction or debris in the slot charter spectrum internet provider where the wing fits. Applying light lubricant to the attachment points may help. If issues persist, consult the user manual or seek professional assistance.
