As you can see from the press releases Division 8 (my former division) and Division 10 were identified as the bad apples that spoiled the bushel.

We have been going it alone for years and if anything participation has improved. As for the PRO's that the IHCA have access to, there are a lot of high quality professionals outside the Hobie organization that can run on hell of a race.

If I were still sailing my H20 I would have a real issue with Hobie trying to tell me who I can and cannot spend my free time with.
