Hey Matt,

I don't want to be a pain but I am wondering where Hobie US is going.
It seems you have abandoned any hope to represent the cream of beach cats, I am talking about F18s, F20s, Acats etc...
I agree that there is certainly a place for the regular basic leisure sailor, but what about us?
All new racing designs come now from Hobie Europe and Hobie US seems to not even try to built fiberglass hightech boats (not even talking about designing them).

This is a matter of image. Just look at the Hobie catalog: a lot of Tiger pictures but not one Tiger part in it! Looks bad to me as a Tiger owner.

What are your plans? What is going on? This situation is weird and I am wondering if beside making money with polyetylene boats Hobie US is still actually interested by the catamaran scene which is by the way picking up big time world wide.
