We're a new fleet (297 resurrected number) that is focusing on the 16 as an entry level boat based strictly on availibility and low cost.

As far as racing goes, we were all excited about going to Mid-Americas last year because in '05 there were like 15 H16's there. We roll in and there are two other 16's (lesson learned, call ahead!) and they called down to Dallas to have a guy scurry up Saturday a.m. for a total of four boats. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> If you like starts with at least 6 to 8 boats the H20 is the boat to bring.

We're hosting Division 14's "daggerless" regatta this weekend and have a little more than 20 16's and few less than 20 14's, but half of these people either race other classes the remainder of the season, have held on to their 14 or 16, or borrow/charter a boat specifically for this event.

The nut must not be from Division 7 or 14 because ours and sogncab (444) are the only new fleets.
