Rolf and Rhino -
I would be amazed if Hobie France made any changes to the Tiger just yet. This year is the first that the Tiger has been beaten - I think it needs to be demonstrated that there is a problem with the boat before any changes are made. Tigers are fast with a big, experienced fleet. Maybe not all of the owners would have a problem with major production changes, but the one-design camp in the US would freak out. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
Have to agree with you there.
As a Tiger owner, I think Hobie have the development program about right. The sails are being continually updated however with the exception of the spreaders, the rig & platform are virtually the same as day 1. Thus even older boats don't suffer from a performance point of view.
