Not sure I love them myself but its good to see something other than red/white/grey. So is this red a fluorescent red (orange) and the yellow and fluorescent green?

The render isn't really a great representation - the red is actually orange - and the yellow is a bright lime.... we need to try and make a better render - I'll re-post when I can get a better color mix.

To give you an idea of the colors - here's a photo that's more accurate than that PDF rendering.

This is a bit more accurate - but they are a little brighter and pop more in person than in this render

When will these colors cut over and the old ones be out of production? I may have to stock up on Seabreeze sails.

Are there changes to the Getaway hull shape for 2017 as well...looks like they reversed the rake of the bow and added a hull chine?

Those colours for catalogue purposes look much better. It all comes down to the exported colour pallet used CMYK or RGB

Yes, Getaway has a new hull mold. New bow and chine.

We are going to have a photo shoot very soon for the new H16 - so far we've got Getaway and Wave only. Soon we're getting shoots of H16 - Bravo, T2, and T1(though this will only be for the EU market)
2017 sailing brochure is printing end of this month - so photos will start popping up around that time...

we're just trying to plan a trip, and pick a day where we've got favorable condition - in SoCal in summer it tends to be fairly light winds...so we're looking to possibly get up to a windier spot... I'll keep you guys posted.
