Not really Zealot, you only have to look at regatta attendence to see that of those 100.000 Hobie 16's sold only a tiny portion of them is still actively sailing them. At the regatta I attended last weekend of the about 35-45 boat attending only 4 were Hobie 16's. Nacra boats outnumbered the Hobie boats.

Claiming the contrary doens't make it any more truthful, Zealot. H16 glory, while still present today, is however mostly to be found in the (distant) past I'm afraid.
