We would have preferred that those who chose to leave the Hobie classes would come back (on Tigers, etc.), but that has not happened.



That is just the thing about Hobie that bothers some of us, isn't it.

First of all the Tiger is an F18 and not a Hobie OD class, always has been so why have they split off and formed they own rival class with rival championships to the F18 class ?

Secondly has anybody counted the number of different Hobie boats ?

There are 20 hobie beach cat designs that were launched in last 35 years, which other catamaran manufacturer even comes close to that number ?

Hobie accuses other classes of doing stuff that they feel are perfectly acceptable when they do it themselves.
