Yeah, the only people that are saying anything about "my boat only" are the Hobie people.

I prefer the higher performance boats and I don't think I will ever own an Adventure Island but I am sure it could help get new people in to sailing. But like I have said before it is not the future of sailing. In my mind saying that it is the future is saying that it is the newest and most exciting thing out there. To me and I think many others the F16 class would be that. It is filling many gaps and allows alot of people to get on the water are very fast boats.

The Hobie crowd, which I used to think I was in because I owned a Hobie seems to look down on the other sailors because they buy from one dealer. And they seem to think that this dealer is the only one people should buy from. But Hobie has become slightly stagnant, yeah they just came out with the AI but what new high performance cats have they come out with. Look at Hobie Europe, they are rolling out new models all the time and some of them are pretty hot looking boats.

I am not saying that Hobie makes bad boats, far from that, I actually love some of their products. But I think that crowd that thinks it is Hobie or nothing else needs to adjust their attitude.
