Skiff

I got my skiff in December as a Christmas gift from DH. I absolutely love it and have had it on display this whole time. It now has a problem that I wonder has happened to anyone else. The elastics that hold the sail to the mast have stretched to the point that the sail sags. It is display only and I have no children in the house. I called CS this morning and explained the issue. They are sending a new Skiff and return shipping label. Just wondering what will happen if this happens again and the skiff has been retired? Well, I guess it would be easy enough to replace the elastics if needed . Wondering what is happening to the ones being played with?
