Attempting to put 2 and 2 together , Formula Classes and new F-classes -singlehanded and others mentioned as they grow over the years and include more and more diverse brand types along with good established class racing and development type racing should be more than enough for any interested in the sport to find a class type or a number of types that suits them best . This type of class oriented racing combined with a simplified easily understood rating system {see building a better mousetrap /rating system} that compliments it would serve the sport much better than the half hazard approach and structure we have in place resulting in numerous dead end brand boat classes and complex rating that promotes it , and alienates class oriented catsailors and seperates them .

The sport can really become very popular again if we allow it to grow and develop with new interesting design and events with good class stucture to race them in, this benifits all involved ,-boat builders and dealers sell more boats ,-sailmakers make more sails ,-hardware mfg,build more -sell more ,-gear and apparel, and we catsailors have better boats events and racing opportunities .
