I'm not at all surprised. This is clearly the way to go; package a first rate vacation so that all you have to do is write a check and show up.

I'll risk a couple of predictions: the Worlds will be wildly successful from a business point of view and in the future the Hobie Co. will add a rental fleet of their "social boats" for those that want to be part of the scene without competing. With this strategy, Hobie will increase their market share, those companies who do not follow suite,i.e, Performance Catamaran, will loose market share.
