WHOA WHOA WHOA....easy there trigger! I would venture to say that there are a significant number of serious racers on the Hobie 17 here in the south east. I'm considering a Hobie 17, in addition to my 6.0na, in the near future so I can have a single hander with some serious, and relatively local, competition.

Just wait until Sam reads your post! (you should probably unpack your flame suit now )
