I had water accumulate in both boom arms of my '95 Chinook. Apparently it's
a common problem. I talked with the rep at the expo in the city in October.
Their solution: call them up and they will mail you new plugs. Then poke
a hole in the existing plugs and let the water drain. Shove the new plugs
in. I haven't done this yet, so the water is still sloshing around.

As for the head, it seems much more flexible than my older Windsurfing Hawaii,
which is somewhat annoying in the gusts since I want to harness that energy,
rather than let it move the mast around. The adjustment end, however, is
a snap to use.
