Posts: 1,252 California | We had a total transom separation of one of the hulls and I'm worried that if I simply repair the pintle cracks of the other hulls the structure holding the pintles may still not be strong enough. There is no way to weld the materials that the Getaway is built from. Transom failure should be reviewed by your dealer and or country's distributor. The hull may have some warranty compensation available depending on age. | | | Re: Getaway Repairs

Posts: 9 | Which hull is damaged? I may have a used one, also what is your location? I am in Delray Beach, Fla many thanks for the offer , I'm in Dukhan , appx 100km south of Baharain & accross the water from Saudi. The problem I have is getting the company ( something to do with petroleum & qatar ) to organise collection. last I heard we had hulls awaiting collection from Hobie GB for one of the getaways. its a procedural nightmare <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> | | | Re: Getaway Repairs

That leaves us with one getaway with cracks at the pintles . What supports the steelwork behind the pintles ? On the one that separated there seemed to be appx 8mm depth foam but the foam seems friable & not contributing to the strength . | | |
