All rumors are true! - Hull construction changed to Rotomolded, available in 4 fun colors! - Rig replaced with unstayed "Sunfish" gaff style. - Assymetrical spinnaker replaced with "Mary Poppins" umbrella sail. - Integral coolers in the hulls with 12v refrigeration system. - Trapezes removed; 8-ft extendable "ladder" hiking system added.

There's an IHCA meeting scheduled for tomorrow at the Tiger Worlds - if JD's going to spring any "production changes" that will be when it happens. |

I haven't heard this rumor. FYI Any design change must follow the procedure outlined in IHCA General Rule 24. If this process is started you will hear about it (see 24.2). Basically if a modified "Tiger" is produced in circumvention of this process then it's not a Tiger and not class legal. (It may be F-18 legal) INTERNATIONAL HOBIE CLASS ASSOCIATION GENERAL RULES 24. RULE AMENDMENTS 24.1 Suggestions, recommendations or requests for changes to design or specifications of the boats, rule additions, deletions or amendments, shall be submitted in writing to the IHCA Rules Committee. The proposals will be reviewed by the Rules Committee, and if found to have merit, be distributed for comment to: Hobie Cat sailors; IHCA International Council members; IHCA Regional Associations; and other interested parties. Following the comment period the IHCA Rules Committee will make a rule recommendation and submit it to the IHCA International Council for consideration. The Council shall accept or reject the Rules Committee recommendation and submit IHCA approved changes to the ISAF for approval. Interim or emergency rulings made by the Rules Committee Chair or Rules Committee as a whole will use the same approval procedure as outlined herein before they receive approved rule status. 24.2 Any proposed changes to design or specifications of the boats, new class rules, rule changes or amendments requesting comments, and all new rules and interpretations shall be announced in one or more of the following ways: a) An international mailing or individual Email to all IHCA members for General Rule changes, or international mailings or individual Email to individual boat class owners for rules only impacting the individual class. b) Prominent display on the IHCA web page requesting comment from Hobie Cat sailors and other interested parties. |
