Hmmm will I have a problem when I introduce a new high tech tri not made by Hobie?

This was the reason I stayed away from Hobies Cats (besides buying faster boats for the time) large fleets but too much "country clubbing" for "bare foot by the butt sailing". When the NACRA 5.2 came out in the 70’s a Hobie sailor holed me on the beach between races because I was winning. I know I can’t just judge all by the actions of a few = but in my Newbie days it left a profound first impression.

Think of your new Hobie Newbies be kind! Next topic - Why can’t we all get along.

Outsider looking in - jus’ sayin’
