off topic - but I made the mistake of getting involved with Harry's trampoline problem on the hobie forums - I suggested he buy the amish brand being pushed on ebay. - big mistake not class legal - not made by hobie. funny thing is they are now being pushed in the Hobie Div 14 handbook - see page 23
The Division 14 booklet welcomes all advertisers (want to buy a Trane A/C unit?), we don't "push" product. Catsailor, our largest advertiser this year, can sell whatever they want, it's a FREE country.
Did you notice Bobby's ad mentioned carbon and hybrid arribasticks? not class legal!!! Did you notice the link in the Division 14 website to the dreaded (JUST KIDDING!) Division 6! It's all there for a purpose...to promote cat sailing.
Stephen,
I like what you said, and I agree. On the other hand, why not show up at the NAC, sail a chartered, brand spanking new boat, with a brand spanking new sail? Seems like a pretty level playing field to me, maybe even with a percieved advantage.
