I just wanted to point out that Lori Mohney is the HCA event coordinator that plans 8 Hobie North American Championships every year and also works with the Worlds event planners. It's difficult to not have conflicts among the Hobie Class,let alone other orginizations. The sailors mentioned have also sailed nationals, at some point, in all of the Hobie classes and have to make a choice even among those.The H17,18,20 classes have all struggled after the introduction of the Tiger and the growth of the F18 class as a whole. I would like to get a Tiger and do the the F18 nationals, Tigers,H14 and H16. But vacation time and money hold me and many others back. Lets remember that this is a hobby and the event planners of all types of boats have jobs and do the work as volunteers. Lori is about as nice a person as you will find and I'm sure she would have loved for everything to work out perfect.
