There seems to be alot of HobieCats at the 2009 F18 World's. Some very nice Photos of the new WildCAT.

Check em out. http://www.f18worlds2009.com/194#

I'm sure there'd be some interest to bring the WildCat (and the Pearl) to the USA........

The Wild Cat is offered by Hobie USA. We are still awaiting our first container. Several are pre-sold.

Is there some advantage to raking the bow the wrong way? Or is it just cosmetic to make the book look more exotic than it already is?

That is "Wave Piercing". Rather that bouncing up and over... it more easily drives through chop. Same bow on the Hobie Fox and Fx One.
