Mary,
That is actually one reason why I like :"Don't fear the speed~~~Fear the addiction", so much.
It is neutral towards recreational sailing and racing. It also highlights the performance part of the F16 class in a new non-demanding manner, by putting it in second place. The first place being the enjoyment of sailing the F16's of course (= the addiction). I think this is exactly how most F16 sailors feel and see the F16 class.

I totally agree. I LOVE that slogan, and I was hoping somebody else would say something. And you DID. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Now the question is whether it has been used elsewhere. Is that original or plagiarized? If Popeyz is the person who came up with that phrase, he needs to get credit for it somehow and he also needs to officially give permission to the class to use that slogan.
It's sort of like when a graphic artist donates his or her time and talent to create a logo for a class.
If Popeyz is the originator, should he copyright it? Or, if he gives it to the F16 class, should the class copyright it?
Just questions that occur to me, because it is too good (and too generic) to not be used by other interests.
