Dear Troll...I mean Mr Anonymous...I mean Mr. who-me

"All I'm saying is that ODs are NOT doomed, and they DO grow (which is indisputable looking at the figures of ODs like H16s)."

Is the Hobie 16 class in a current state of growth? Are you saying that there are more Hobie 16's in active use now than any time prior to 2006? (By active use I am excluding the thousands of Hobie 16's wasting away in back yards all across America that haven’t seen the water in at least a year). How many of the 35,000 Hobie 16’s you talk about were sold new in the US in 2005? And if there were less boats sold in 2005 than say…1985 or 1980 would that not mean that the numbers are declining not increasing? What is your definition of growth? Please enlighten me.
