******WARNING***** The shroud attachment points are prone to failures on the TheMightyHobie18! It's an easy fix though... examine the stainless eyebolt fitting (which connects to the chain plate) that passes through the outer hull lip and threads into a round piece of stainless with a tapped hole. The threaded eyebolt sometimes developes cracks within the valleys of the threads that exist between the rod and the lip of the hull. CHECK OFTEN AND CAREFULLY!
