Nigel, We had 43 H-17's at the MEGA. High sail number was 6406 so there are a lot of us out there. The sails are numbered by Hobie as they are built, but does not equal the number of boats. My hull number is 137, a very early 1986 model, but I have had four sails.

I do not see the need for a separate forum, plenty of posts here for the H-17. We can all learn from the other comments.
