Read my statements again Matt.

Actually the Tiger started out as the Alado F18 and was designed by a company unrelated to Hobie. Hobie bought the building rights and Hobienized it, renaming it the Tiger. At that time it was still a F18. Then Hobie corp decided to dilute the F18 class by forming a OD Tiger class as well.

Something Hobie (crowd) always claims other builders are doing, but they have done more often themselves.

To make things worse the Tiger never remained a True OD as each 1 or 2 years the Tiger rules would be adjusted to allow any new devellopment that occured in the F18 class. The famous st, stx, new rudders, selftacker, snuffer, etc issues.

The Tiger class has always been an OD class IN NAME ONLY.

And who gives a ^&@#(# about ISAF recognation anyway these days. Another paper tiger thing if you ask me.
