Ok here it is, im buying a new boat yay. A new boat with all the new racing bits and peices. I have heard of alot of problems with the new mast that they are soft and flex alot and they only come with the rope jib halyard, first is this true. The second is i also heard if you put the wire haylard back on it makes the boat even more powerful and i was wondering why this is and if its not true why not? Are there any other problems?
Thanks people!

Posts: 170 Australia | The new hobie 16s dont come with comp-tip because there not race legal!! So if i get hit with a big gust the boat will take alittle longer to respond because the rigging will have to react first?? Is that right?
