Before you say just buy a different brand, for many of us Hobie has the only regatta's around.

I also agree that HCE will probably be the ones to do it. Hobie US is doing pretty well with the rotomoulded boats. So why change.
But...the other major manufacturer has not been mentioned. Closer to your area Karl, NACRA has the only regatta around...the CRAW and CRAM organizations. Your only likely to see F16 sprout from these ranks (and possibly a NACRA F16?). I don't think the Hobie sailors will be able to splinter off, start, support and/or sustain themselves.
