Zuhl: I agree with most everything you're saying. Except that I doubt this will lead to the demise of the Hobie company. I can only guess, but the event currently scheduled in Mexico will probably turn a profit and sell some boats. Think about it purely as a sailor wanting to take a vacation. A "turn key" package with no hassles, just write a check, show up and have fun.

I hope NAMSA picks up on the idea. I think it's the way to go.
