Spoken like a true Hobie dealer... ha ha ha. Just kidding.

I think class racing has become too exclusive. To be competitive in a class you need a newer boat, rigging, sails and that costs money. The only class racing that I would fully endorse would be the Hobie Wave because of the money issue and the potential for youth based learning.

Open format with no "speed ratings", a large, non-standard course with two groups: <17' and >17' is what I would like to see.
I don't it should be a Hobie Thing, I think it should be a sailing thing.
