Mark, have you been to Tradewinds? One of the reasons I LOVE it, is because I can meet and party with ALL the cat sailors, from every class and from all over the country, not just the ones from my little class. And the Hobie 16 guys even let me talk to their Chicks!

I also drive across the street to the Islander, just to see what the A cat guys are up to when I'm down there. It's all good. I just wish we were all staying in the same location for a bigger party when it's all over.

I think Catamaran Racing's biggest problem is Money, of course, but if we were to consolidate our many different Nationals into one big regatta, I think we would all benefit and might be able to draw in a big money sponsor, vs. a whole bunch of small "Nationals", one for each different class, spread all over the place.
