Harry, I should have mentioned in my original post - NOOD is basically a one design / level rating regatta. I think there may have been PHRF divisions for keelboats before, but I don't see any likelihood that we could get cats in based on Portsmouth. Considering the distribution of cat sailing in the Midwest, I suspect that F-18s, N-20s and possibly F17s are the most likely possibilities. In case you're interested, here is last year's NOR. The criteria defined there plainly rule beachcats out - which is why I'm lobbying for a change in the criteria to enable cats to compete.
