History reminder.

Back in the day, the New England area had a combined regatta schedule with hobie and nacra fleets running the events with one design fleets when you could get the numbers. They had a critical mass of racers that could make a regatta feasible.

The HCA and NAHCA decided to impose the hobie edict. Many areas of the country said no way! Some areas said no problem. New England Hobie sailors made the choice to say OK and split from the nacra fleet. Unfortunately, they could not sustain a racing schedule on their own.

The old adage... you can't put Humpty Dumpty back together seems to be true.

As history get's written... somebody ought to make the case and show where the Hobie Edict had the desired results!
