If they know you are coming, and you make arrangements, they are usually glad to give you a tour.
When I went to San Diego for the 40th, we took a run down to the factory on Monday and were treated to a tour.
It was a wonderful experience for someone like me that has been buying and sailing Hobie products since 1980.

Thanks to Matt, Greg, Jacque and the rest of the Hobie staff for a very enjoyable tour.

Give the factory a call (760) 758-9100 and ask. Best not on a Monday and the factory does 4 x 10 hrs shifts, so closed Friday.

I can certainly identify with your short canuk sailing season! Especially up here da Michigan's "UP" (North of most people in Ont.!!) on Lake Superior's S. Michigan Shore. Thank God I finally found some friends way down there in Panama City, FL (& Beach) that love sailing in the "Winter"! That's where I will be again this Winter, and where I first became a "snow bird"! Love it!

I've been sailing 16's since stationed in Boston way back in '72 on the cape. Came in 3rd in 2nd Cape Cod Regatta... Sail # 728... (THAT'S RIGHT... ONLY 3 DIGITS!!!). Also sailed at Cresent Beach while in FL while becoming a "Gator" in Gainesville @ U of FL after coming back from "Nam" in 69. Now they call me a senior captain here on the cruise boats, but all that means is that I'm am old man (71 yrs now ) that loves to drive boats, have fun (and sail!!)!
