There's a reason why, when I tell people I sail a catamarn, they say "Ohhh! you sail a Hobie!?". It's because darn near every catamaran event in the U.S., the signs that point to it, the shirts and hats associated with it, and the articles written about it has the flying H stamped on them. They are giving up an incredible amount of market exposure by forcing the x-boats to sort out their own organization that will be inclusive of everyone (and we will).
