There is no such thing as a boat that cannot be raced or that is not suitable for racing. Look at the Sunfish! It was considered just a fun beach toy when it was first produced. Somebody decided to start a class association and get them racing, and now it is a huge class in the world. And look at the Hobie Wave. It was considered just an entry-level boat and marketed mostly to resorts for beach rentals. After a Wave Nationals was started, all of a sudden, it has become a popular racing boat, and it has a class association and has been the biggest fleet at some regattas this past year.

If a boat has sails, it can race! Performance ability is not a factor when racing against other boats of the same type. And Portsmouth ratings make even the slowest boats able to compete against the fastest on handicap.
