Hey Jake, I'm gonna have to tag out and hand this debate over to you. I've been arguing with Mark for almost 10 years over this. He doesn't get the distinction between us and pros and obviously doesn't know what a PITA stickers are to apply or remove. The deep end remark fits. It's truly a shame because he puts forth huge amounts of effort in organizing races and trying to build fleets, and then turns around and comes up with this garbage which if implemented would cut the fleets we have down the middle.
Mark if you read this could you please define what YOU think a pro class sailor would be.
