Hello
I went all over my 1987 mod one back in June and tightened all the fasteners up before it's first sail. Since then I've probably had it out less than 15 hours b/c of our typically crummy Florida summer weather and some back trouble, but was surprised to find that alot of the fasteners had become a bit loose. Nothing close to failing, but loose enough to be concerning.
Most of the sailing I've done with it has been on days with gusts up to around 20 and I did manage to capsize it once, but I'm wondering if this is something other owners have encountered, and what you may have done to moderate this.
