exactly what i am afraid of. even with the epoxy injection, when i'm out on the water i'll still always be thinking 'is it going to snap when i go over this wave?'. thats why i like things to be over-engineered. i want to put a stainless rod between the tips of the hulls where the bridal wires mount to absorb any stress that would be put on the hulls by the bridal wires. after all i'm assuming its the horizontal component of the tension provided by the bridal wires that ultimately snaps the bow. this doesn't seem like a radical idea so i want to know if anyone else has tried it and with what results

thx
