Yeah, I admit that I would love to sail a AI for a while. I am sure I could find something fun to do with it. But I am about to start building a F16 class cat and for some reason the AI just looks like a toy to me.
I imagine that some people will love it and that it will help people get into sailing but I think if any boat is going to be the future of sailing it will be the Wave that hobie makes. Granted it catchs alot of [censored] on this forum but it can get people on the water cheap and still has decent performance.
As for Hobie sailors, I guess I am one technically, but I also sail other cats and have some hostile feeling towards Hobie because I feel like they are limiting themselves some.
Once you go cat you never go back!
