Were the SL 16s donated or purchased? If donated, will Hobie step up next year? If purchased, did the manufacturer cut a deal? Was Hobie asked to participate? If they were, did they offer a discount?
What was involved in the decision making process to use SL 16s?

Donated. The decision to use the SL16 as a youth boat is a complicated one but it involves the ISAF.
I'm positive that Art's motivation is not specifically about promoting a particular boat. However, when a boat manufacturer steps up and makes a large commitment to a cause, such as this one, I imagine it's kind of hard to hide the excitement.
