hi i have a hobie 14 that im making in to a tubo and i was on the internet and i noticed that a h14t had its rigging attached to the hull so do you have to do that if you are changing it to a turbo? and i have also noticed that when im sailing in heavy winds , the bar where the rigging is attached to bends a bit... is that normal? |

The H14Turbo does not have a front spreader bar, where as, the H17Sport does. I've sailed my H17Sport in some pretty high winds (30+ knots) and have not seen any noticeable bending of the spreader bar. |

harrison, if you are talking about where the shrouds attach (to the side rails of the trampoline frame), yes the rails will bend a little. That is normal. More important, if you converted a standard H14 to a turbo, is that you add a dolphin striker and tension cable to the front cross beam for added strength. The standard H14 doesn't have one. |
