Ok so the USSA and Multihull board wanted a spin h-16. The date was set to use boats already bieng used for 2 other events. hobie class refused the boats because of the spin issue, Another 16 foot spin boat was chosen. Sorry but the h-16 communitee has no reason to be upset. This same issue happened on the tornado for the olympics. I.E. put spins on or your out. Now tornado's are pushing the spin technology and sail plans leading the pac. If not it would be the I-20,m-20 or fox in the olympics I love my hobie but if they decided to not make a spin boat in my class i'd buy a nacra or capricorn. The 16 is a great class and some of the best sailors i've met but to turn down a chance to race them with spin is just ludricris.
Thank you AHPC for filling a need and helping out.
