Coming from a part of the country where there is no racing other than Hobie (and I do wish it was a more wide spread mixture without diluting the numbers...wish in one hand...). The H16 numbers are status quo at best. Most "existing" racers have already or are moving to the 20. I suppose there is the possibility of inticing a sailor from centerboard or keel ranks to a 20. THE entry level boat is the H16, and thanks to tens of thousands sold, still perpetuating our sport, but at much reduced levels. If not for this boat, I'd probably be powerboating.

Sorry for not adding anything you didn't already know, I just don't see another "stepping stone" or entry level boat being introduced since than the Wave. Will another manufacturer fill this void? And I'm "wishing" again...for a void.
