Sam,grant money has nothing to do with paranoia,big brother???

What I'm saying if a Co. that was in trouble and needed money (and would you agrue they weren't at the time?) could get it by way of a grant for coming up with something like a comptip would they do it?

Well documented lawsuit.....whatever. Are you sure you know everything that went on with this issue? Of all the sailboat builders in the world, Hobie was the only one to cave on this issue?

This is not something I made up, rather heard about.

Do I have this right? Hobie can sell boats made in Europe here with soild masts but they can't build them here with solid masts......Food for thought.

And yeah, at the time I was ticked that I had to cut up a perfectly good mast to race.
