Ey Bill, you are doing anti-promotion. The 18HT is a cool concept. So what if the F18 is the class where the racing is today. That dont mean there will not be enough interest in the 18HT to keep a class going.

If the exchange rate is really bad, boats can be built in the US, even homebuilding is possible.

Would not cost much time and money to set up a website and e-mail group for those interested.

The problem is not the number of boats or other classes, it is getting the right persons to get things going and keep them going.
