Share Rolf's reservation on market positioning. Also wonder if a having two divisions could have unintended consequences - delay people moving up to an optimized design and weaken the marketing message of the light-weight, high performance, dual configuration boat.

However, don't mean at all to suppress the brainstorming - it's all good. I like the idea of inviting some top sailors to borrow a boat at some key events. Maybe use a little sponsorship or some association funds to assist with travel expenses. Also like the idea in Kirt's other post of organizing some regional events.

Another suggestion - I think it would be cool to have "formula 16" in oversize outline lettering right down the size of our hulls. Maybe Robi could do us a group deal. Would stand out more at a mixed regatta than just a class logo on the sail or rear end of the hull.
