I've got two little ideas about promotion. One, the thing that sets this class apart from most is that it can be done (race or sail) one up or two. Some clever wording that expressed that would be helpful. "Do It, one up or two, with spinnaker".

The other thing, in my late fall and early spring sailing there was always interest from sailors and non sailors. They would say, "What is that". IMO the boat labeling is too much about the manufacture and not enough about the class. In this country people are not acquainted with the formula idea. When they see
"F 16" they are pretty sure that it is 16 feet long, but the F could be Frank, Fitzgerald, Fun.......? I'd be OK with big letters down the side of the hull that spelled it out, "Formula 16". Then they can think, Where do I get one?
