Well, let's say the H17 group would like to stimulate discussion and build momentum for the H17 class of Hobie.

For now, I see value in sustaining those discussion on this website as we may get noticed by new members joining the existing group.

I appreciate Nigel's work and effort with setting up a discussion group as it is an investment of his personal time.

Unfortunately misbehaved "flammers" are a factor of life on the Internet in virtually most discussion groups. What you can control though, that they cannot, is the "delete" key on your own computer. Problem solved.

Anyway, I found the conversation and discussions amongst other H17 owners interesting and would encourage further dialogue as to where we may eventually want to settle. This site works fine and it has been a great source of information and community.

Others?

Sail faaaaaaaaaaast, Tom G
