Unregistered | These Wed. night races have been going on for over 20 years. http://www.clearlakeracing.com/ All sailors are welcome and we party hardy after every race. The sport needs this kind of thing to survive. Look af the past. When I got started we had 150-200 boat regattas all the time. Now are lucky to have 45. Lets all work together. After all we are all SAILORS in the long run. Just differnet boats that all! Doug | | | Re: The Reason for the "Open Forum"

Posts: 149 Long Island, NY | ...sometimes this forum is used to promote one kind of boat, one manufacturer... It seems that when we get into "product comparisons" on this forum, we usually focus on the characteristics of the boat. There's also value in all of us providing feedback on the characteristics and our experiences with the actual companies...Some companies serve their customers a lot better than others, and it's good that prospective buyers be made aware of that. Personally I've had some experiences with a certain manufacturer that will lead me to warn every catsailor to stay away from them.Things like unresponsiveness, a sucky website, no way to get in touch by phone...that kinds of stuff can cause as much grief as failures or performance issues with the actual boat. Do you all think it is acceptable for us to provide matter-of-fact experience with cat suppliers?

Or your boat is made in France and the US Dealer promotes it heavily but sorta supports it. Amazing how it' s left out of the catalog and parts list, but they sure do include it in their visuals . . . Wouldn't be an example of that one anywhere?

Posts: 1,252 California | Yeah, the Tiger still isn't a top volume seller in the Hobie line, so it doesn't get the catalog space that many of the other models get. We have limited space for parts diagrams, so only the biggest volume boats have diagrams in the catalog. All diagrams are available on our website though. http://www.hobiecat.com/support/pdfs/tigerparts.pdfTiger parts will likely be added to the numerical section of the catalog parts listing this year. http://www.hobiecat.com/support/pdfs/price.pdfWe re-evaluate the best space use every year. | | |
