if by selling Getaways Hobie is getting back to the masses than they are doing the very right thing. cat sailing is not only about racing...as a matter of fact mybe 15% are racing...the rest are out there to have fun and enjoy themselfs in a reasonable price
Good to hear a voice of reason, remember Hobie is making this decision based on boat sales and boat sales are what benefits cat sailing most, sailing snobbery against rotomoulded cats does not benifit cat sailing. Many of these boats go to resorts where even more people get to sail them.
I think catsailing will benifit more from two rotomoulded cat sales than one racing boat sale. Therefore concentrating your efforts on the higher selling models benefits not only your bottom line but the sport in general.
