Since Hobie Cat has the highest reputation in the industry for warranty and technical support...


I think things like this should be posted on this forum simply to let us know about issues. That's what this forum is for. Hobie is great about taking care of issues but these issues should have been worked out in the first place before boats were sold.
One Wildcat here in Texas had the same issues. The bridle tang started pulling out of the Port hull. There will be two Wildcats racing in the GT this year, this will be a good test for the boats.
On a somewhat related note: I was recently replacing a comptip on a H16 mast and the replacement one that was just shipped from Hobie came with damage. It was clearly damaged before it was packaged up ( I guess nobody looks them over before wraping them in bubble wrap.) I thought this was a minor oversight. Hobie sends a new one. It came with the same kind of damage in the same exact spot. I know it wasn't the same one because the damage was slightly different. Hobie was good about taking care of the whole situation.
