OK, I know this is "Catsailor", so I understand... sort of. Typical of many posters on this site. The glass is half full.

This segment WILL be good for sailing and cat sailing. It shows Hobie and catamaran sailing in a fun and exciting light. Lots of catamaran sailing was in it even though it was primarily about the Hobie Adventure Island. It is a 15 minute segment... about Hobie's latest innovations, but still includes Hobie 14, 16, Bravo, Wave, Getaway. Most of the footage on the water is sailing cats.

Do we still build cats? Certainly, but again... this was about the Island and only 15 minutes. You take what you get when a major TV show wants to cover your company.

For review: We mold the Hobie 16 here in the US and in Australia because we can not keep up with the demand. We build all of the components here (sails as shown on the show, trampolines, aluminum and stainless). We ship components to Australia and they ship some hulls to us.

It's all good.
