Post subject: | Mast Furler Collar |
My mast furling collar keeps riding upward from its base a couple inches each time I take my Ti out. It looks like the glue seal broke sometime ago and all I have to do before going out is to tap it back down into place in line with the original seal. Is this a common problem indicating a possible serious failure I should worry about? I capsized after my aka slid out from its clip last year and experienced an XBAR failure while sailing too close to a reef break a few weeks ago, so I'm a bit paranoid about other things going wrong. Incidentally, Hobie totally came through for me with a new XBAR! These guys really stand behind their name. |

Yes, the furler drum needs to be re-glued. That is a potential problem for the boat if it slips and allows the base to come up off the step fitting. A previous post on the subject: http://www.hobiecat.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8017 |
