Roger, you have my statement backwards.

A Hobie Tiger Class compliant boat IS automatically NAF18 Class compliant.

I was trying to point out that IF you modified a Tiger to some NAF18 rules, it COULD become non-compliant to the Tiger class rules IE: blades and boards by Hobie Corp., no tapered lines, etc..



Funny thing, I am reading the Tiger class rules and it says that "Replacement blocks or fittings shall not be constructed of exotic materials such as carbon, titanium, etc". Many of us are using the new Harken carbon blocks and they are CHEAPER, lighter and stronger than the old style blocks. EARTH TO HOBIE!!!!!
