Today´s trend is without question towards SPI boats. In this respect we have to look what keeps a class attractive, AND we have to look what the competing boats on the market offer.
Kids and that is the future WANT SPI boats. AND IT IS EASIER THAN ONE THINKS TO SAIL WITH SPI.

So, in order to keep the class attractive we MUST GO the SPI way.

Look at the DART 18! Do you see them any longer? No, they vanished within one single season! Why, well they hardly ever changed the boat!

We know about the HC 16 disadvantages, and IHCA is willing to change that, so lets go! Everyone!

Being a German who lives in the US and having sailed in hundreds of HC 16 events I must say that in this respect Europe is setting the trend, so let´s join and support the SPI TREND!
