I agree with the E Class assessment of it being regional. We are in the central location of the E scow with a ton of them in my YC, and the farthest they EVER travel is either to Wisconsin or Minnesota, but usually its just a trip to Okoboji from here for them. The MCs are spread out a bit more, but I can't see the fun of having a boat that cost $15k that my 14 can keep up with tack for tack all the way around the course. The portsmith numbers are almost the same between a 14 and MC and you don't have to pop your collar and wear plaid shorts to fit in on a 14......
