Hobie should start concentrate on building boats thatz fit into classes instead of selling boats with strange weights, dimensions and or looks such as icat, fx-one, 15 and others.
Terminate the icat and make it an A-Cat. Stop the fx-one and do a F16 for example. Maybe Hobie even has the power to build an affordable "A" ?
This is an interesting point.
Matt, can you chime in here? Have the Tiger and Wildcat convinced you that building to a formula rule is a better path to success than strict one-designs? I know that you have focused on recreational markets, but when considering racing designs, is it time to look at building an A-Cat or F16 design? Or, are you so large that you really need the economies of scale and have no interest in the niche racing market?
Mike
