Update:

With the recent announcement of the Hobie 16 Worlds in China scheduled for August 2010... we now have to gear up production for an additional 64 Hobie 16s for this event. Some have asked whether the H18 hull production schedule is impacted. I have reviewed the issue and am told that there is currently no expectation of a delay on the H18 hulls. I am promised a more comprehensive schedule review within the next month. Currently, as originally scheduled, production is expected to be complete by late May or early June.

I know I´m a definite minority because I sail all year round, but in my personal case I could care less when the hulls will be completed as long as they are excellence in build quality. That is the most important issue for me.

A Al,

Even tho a good quality hull is most important to all of us,
That was just plain MEAN !

But, why not head down south for some warm water sailing

For Matt M:

What is the price for enough white vinyl tramp material to make a set of matching Magnum wings? Looking to order the white vinyl material only. I measured a couple different sets of older factory Hobie magnum wing tramps and they do vary some, but it looks like each wing tramp needs about 34" by 102" of material to start with (includes the allowance for edge hems).

Unless of course, you happen to have a leftover set of new ones lying around somewhere...
