Steal a rudder, are you kidding. I was thinking I was out at least $1000!!!! I had my wallet open before he had a chance to tell me it was only $90. Imagine - going for a pleasure ride and 3 hours later forking out the $$$ for a new mast!!! That would have been a disaster. I must admit though, with all the crap that day, it was a great first day in a Hobie!!!
