the Hobie 16 probably has the longest set of traditions in place and the class has run their own events for years and years. Do you have a policy or class culture? You don't see any NASCAT 16;s out there.
Is there a common practice? Does the class culture stomp on Joe and his Joe's Meat Market program and make it clear that he is not playing nicely in the sandbox?
The Nacra 20's and the Worrel/Tybee grew together and so the NASCAT look and culture are accepted. (Don't worry Todd... you don't have to worry about me ripping the stickers off your boat over your cold dead body)
I know I have seen Coca Cola branded H16 boats that come from the Mexican Worlds? or ISAF Youth games? and nobody has been forced to take the stickers off.
