I'm just totally unconvinced it will threaten the regular glass based beach cat scene as another poster mentioned


Why on earth would anyone think that another beachcat would threaten the "regular beachcat" scene. Surely it could only complement and help the catamaran scene, regardless of the material the hulls are constructed from, or its performance.

Some feel that Hobie (the largest catamaran maker) spending less research money on developing higher performance catamarans may hurt the sport in the long run. They are basically saying, “Racers, we have done good enough for a few years. We will check back with you later, if you are still there. We will let small companies focus on development and we will just copy it in 10 years.”
