Wouter, that comment is not only inaccurate, but crass and unseemly as well.
Yes, the truth does sometimes have those qualities.

Apparently there were two contenders for choice of boat for the 2009 Alter Cup finals. One was the Hobie 16 + spi and the other the Viper F16. The Viper was selected and Hobie can give it another try for 2010. Enough said !
