HCA says NO to the FX1

Hey Karl I will take you up on that offer.By the way when you order my new boat can you get it with custimized Canadian sails.

Karlos, better get me one too......

Hey Karl, I'll take one too.. but I'll take the black sails with the skull and cross bones

I want to check out the FX-1, but getting over to see Jeremy is proving difficult right now.

Hey Karl, why don't you just have HCE drop ship a container at your place full of FX-1's?

Party at Karl's!

See. Look at all the people who want one!

I would like to thank everyone who has had input into this, regardless of whether or not it is what I want to hear. The reality is that there isn't enough of us to make this happen at this point and time. I understand the unfortunate truth that is in front of us. It just means that a different route has to be taken, and by that I mean that myself, Don, and Mike have to build the class. It truely is a tradgedy that no one up until this point has been as excited about this boat as we are. With the death of the H20 & H17 our work will hopefully be easy, so long as we can keep those folks in the Hobie family.

Karl,
You've single handidly doubled the class by offering to buy everyone a boat! Nice Work!

I said "A boat" for "the event"

And I take issue with you calling the H-17 dead. It's still the largest class of singlehanded catamaran - for now.

Surely there are more Waves out their by now?

There may be more Waves, there are definitely more H-14's, but they're not racing on a regular basis as widespread at the H-17.

According to the class rankings, there were 73 H-17 sailors with 206 regatta attendances.

I just meant that it is no longer produced.

Oh the things I would do with a winning lottery ticket.

If I had the money right now I would either buy an FX-1 or an Inter 17. But after seeing the FX-1 in more detail I would have to say it is number 1 in my book.

Hobie 14T, "Blazin" I guess I am keeping her!

Karl, don't get it shipped to your place, get it shipped to us, then everybody can just fly out to the event!

Looks like with the interest generated, it may become a very active class. Looks like a cool boat in my books (now, if I were only 60lbs lighter.... )

Paul,
Maybe we should start a Uni-rig Tiger Class with a minimum weight of 250! And a limit of 50# carried to make minimum.

Jockeys need not apply.
