I like any opportunity for the Formula 18s to have a venue to sail. What do you get out of it as an organizer? More numbers to help pay for the event.

As far as points go. Maybe chasing the Hobie points does not do much but there are points for the NAF18s that are interesting. Those points will decide who is invited to sail the Worlds in Spain in 2008. For any regatta that 3 Formula 18s show up and is sailed using Formula 18 class rules, which is fair if you are inviting that class, will earn the sailors points for the North American Formula 18s.
