hi there
yesterday during a sail in choppy waters and wind i broke the bow tang of my h14 turbo.
i was very lucky cause i wasn't so far and i could bring the boat back to the beach....
now i have 2 big problems
1) the screws are sized and i wasn't able to remove them
2) since my hobie is an "88 model and uses the four holes bow tang (not the new one with just one hole) here in italy is quite impossible to find one before 2\3 weeks and i have my first race next week end....
here the regata are very very rare 1\2 per year and i don't want to miss this one.
please heelp me to find a solution,if someone can send me the pieces via usps or ups in three days i'll pay by trasfering money from my bank,or via paypal,or whatever,including something for the disturb...i really need this piece!!!!!
hope someone can help me....
max

Max,

My Hobie 16 is an '85 and uses a 1 hole bow tang. I looked in a parts catalog from 2000 and it only shows the 1 hole tang for the Hobie 14 and the 16. They both have the same catalog number. Can you post a picture of what you need? I have a 1 hole tang that I could send you but from what you say, it won't work.
