Tiger is not included in the USA production numbers.

Percentage of sales of roto to rental vs retail?

The majority of the product goes to retail buyers here in the US. South Florida is special in that they supply the resorts as a major part of their business. I would say we likely sell most in the Midwest followed by the North East.

Roto product sells at such a higher rate than the Tiger / F18 that it is hardly a comparison.

Hobie Cat Europe has been slow to sell the rotomolded product, but they are learning. We are seeing a big shift in their focus now as well.

Certainly these boats do not go to regattas or the same sailing sites as racers do, you would not see them in groups, but they are here. The activity in the Hobie forums also says a lot. The Getaway forum is very active.
