Is it only in the south when we say next weekend it means the weekend after this coming weekend ? Confuses me all the time.
I will take many pictures for sure if they have a 2015 TI at the Sept 13 Demo Day in Austin. If not then, the 20th in Houston.

The dealer told me that Hobie is "trying" to have a 2015 at the Austin Demo Day next weekend. I plan to order one either way but I'm really hoping they have a TI out there so I can take some measurements and finalize my trailer modifications. The Revo has convinced me to take the deeper plunge for the TI. I put turbo fins on my mirage drive yesterday and can't wait to try it this weekend.

Buckaroo, I have not heard any rumours about the hull shape of the TI changing apart from the reverse sloping bow, so if you used a current TI for measurements for cradle placement (67" between centres) you can't go wrong. Mind you, getting hands-on with a 2015 model would be great for confirmation!

Will do on the pictures and video.
Thanks Tony. I'm probably going with a pvc pipe runner system rather than cradles but will get a cradle set to make a cart. I'm hoping to work out a method for coupling the cart to the back of the trailer as I have seen a Dealer in Australia has done. I've looked at so many posts, asked some questions and now I'm sketching how I might modify the A frame trailer I purchased with my Revo 13 and Kona. It's really going to help seeing a TI in person, my local Dealer doesn't keep one in their showroom.

Docterisn:
If you take pics of the boat, if it's a Hobie someone on the hobie cat part of the forum should be able to identify your boat, most boats have the hull identification number engraved into the rear right corner if the hull. It will have the manufacturers I'd at the beginning.
Sails are typically designed for a specific boat and can be purchased from many companies, actually sails are usually catalogued by manufacturer and boat model for replacement sails.
Hope this helps.
Bob

I'm another 2015 Hobie TI owner in waiting. I was at ACK demo days in New Braunfels and the TI they had was not the new one :cry:

Talking about accessories I decided to hold off purchasing anything just in case there are changes we don't know about. I had heard they were changing the trampoline size, but nobody knows which size, my guess is if anything going to the larger tramps on the AI and leaving TI the same. I'm buying a used trailer that is already set up with cradles and storage. Trying to use as much of my old yak stuff as possible. Drift sock, rod holders, etc. I did buy a light kit off CL and a few small things. The hardest part about the wait is not buying every cool gadget I see online. Dec/Jan cannot get here soon enough.
