As I said this is not a Nacra bash I am just wondering what we the sailors/consumers are willing to accept boats knowing there is a high chance of failure. Also in a few years a lower resale as the buyers say “well that is one for the first batch of boats and we know the quality control was not there so there is higher chance of failure”.
Maybe I am wrong and people are prepared to accept lesser quality control for the product they want.
As I said this is not bashing any manufacturer just what the sailors are willing to accept.
I agree, it serves no one to make excuses for defective work. How many rudders and daggerboards have we seen expode this year? And that was not the first mast to go either. We should be demanding that these issues be addressed instead of making excuses. Whether you're sailing Hobie, Nacra, Capricorn or whatever I think it's important to make sure we provide the proper 'feedback' in the hopes seeing a better product next year.
And Maugan - I have lost the mainsheet several times on my Tiger without breaking the mast (I did bend one).
