Oh, yeah, now that you mention it, I did have to replace the HPL head last
season, but no big deal really - it was cheap and simple to do, and didn't
fail catastrophically - in fact I sailed a few sessions on it while is was
partially broken (such is the addiction -smile-). If my HPL ever breaks,
it'll be time to try the makai. I hadn't heard about it at all, thanks for
the rec.
