[quote=HMurphey]A joint committee of Hobie Cat Co, IHCA and the IWCA review the modifications/improvements for cost and manufacturability w/ the purpose of arriving at a Wave configuration suitable for racing at a minimal cost

Leave IHCA and the Company out of it and let HCANA & IWCA sit on the committee. This is a USA issue, and the sailors need to work it out without undue influence from the factory.
It is time for the sailors to do what is best for sailing just as the company does what is best for business. Understanding that the two almost never run at right angles, they do not always run in a parallel direction.
+1Let's remember that the H16 has benefited from many improvements developed by racers that were later incorporated by the Hobie Cat Co into their production runs.

Another good point that some people at the company seem to have lost touch with.
Not so sure about that, hell, HCC changed length of bridles this year. Don't think that was because the recreational Hobie 16 sailor was concerned about pointing ability. This class obviously has close ties to "the Company" (and here-in may lay fear of change?).
Wonder how many new 16's are sold to non-racers? MMiller?
