Ugh.. unreasonable... NO !

My local Hobie dealer has been stuck with a 16 with chute used two years ago at the ISAF youth games for a week in Cork. It's at the Annapolis boat show every year... nobody wants it.

He won't sell it without the spin... no class member want's to buy it with the spin....

The premium to put the gear on and off and on again has to be paid for. Don't mix up the CLASS buisness... with the company's buisness.

In the end... the big picture is really:

Does the US racing community want the Alter qualifier and championship.

With max attendance at 15 boats... and many areas with no participation or minimal participation.. WHY SHOULD WE KEEP DOING THIS?
