The Tiger sails are built by one of the better lofts in Italy. Zuccoli Ullman. Mains, Jibs, Spinnakers. Not Hong Kong, not "factory".
Same loft that built the newest mains used (and won) at the F18 Worlds. This is the mainsail that is a possible new change for the Tiger Class.
The class will be looking at how to manage the Tiger class vs. F18 issue a little better. Certainly the F18 class conflicts with the basic Hobie Cat philosophy in many ways. How do we stay on top as manufacturers while not alienating our current boat owners with constant changes? There are a lot of folks that cannot, or do not want to, spend so much money on new upgraded sails and parts again and again. Then again, there are those that will.
