First you need agreement on the purpose of the class... You assume that that this agreement exits and then you detail your list of expectations.

If we don't agree on the class purpose... we will never agree on expectations and deliverable's.

Multihulls have a large number of Manufacturer controlled classes.. The builder sets the goals and the class rules and then sells the sailors something.. Nacra organized most of the NA's for their boats in the US and the owners rarely demanded or took control of their own fate...

Builders like Melges have perfected this model and have sold LOTS of OD class sport boats AND a Regatta Racing Circuit. If you like the deal... you buy it.

The culture is.... you buy a regatta service.... The class dues are an annoyance.
