LAMMMEEE!!!
Proves that the public is interested in kayaks and could care less about sailboats otherwise the producers would have chosen to show more sailing.

Oh Jake. I'm apalled. There's nothing on TV tonight that would make me miss this. Thank heaven it isn't on Friday, though. Season premier of BSG! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

The Asian girl got canned. Now can we watch the show? I wish they showed the making of a 16.

So John left with a couple of Adventure Islands. Not bad for Hobie's 15 minutes of fame.

Nice Kyaks. Do they make catamarans there anymore?

They did show Doug talking to John next to a 16 fully rigged and tied to a dock (like anyone does THAT in real life)...

They showed roto products being used (kayaks, Waves, etc.), presumably at the time of the taping.

They showed only archival footage of fiberglass boats sailing (14, 16, 18). They didn't show 17, 20, 21 or Tigers, although I saw what looked like a 17 sail being made in the loft.

Questions for Matt:

How did you avoid getting on screen at all?

Did John get to keep the boats?

Do you still make 16 hulls in CA, or are you just assembling kits there?
