As a Hobie member for the last few years, I have enjoyed the priviledge of meeting some of the most amazing people that have both inspired and taught me the value of friendship and the passion for sailing.

I have also had the opportunity of sailing on both a Hobie 16 and a Hobie Tiger by the fortune of my husband's Will and desire. Although I do prefer the social aspect (food) more than sailing!

Wrapping up this year, I've been watching closely at the communication between Hobie members on different forums and amazed by the passion for the Hobie Way that I imagined Hobie Alter had envisioned would transcend to the very fibre of each member.

So I hope this AGM will be filled with great and NEW ideas. And I hope those that have raised issue will be present with suggestions. It is the responsibility of each Hobie member within their own Fleets to make their contribution. As they say, it doesn't take one person to raise a child, but a village.

If you want a voice in what you think matters then come to the AGM. This is your chance to be heard. We volunteer our time to promote and support the sport and the fun of catamaran sailing. Let's hope each member's focus at this AGM will be the best of intentions for everyone in the Division. Not to just preserve it but GROW and lead by example for all Divisions in North America.

Tequila Girl.

UPDATE - Please not exact date/time.


See you there.
