Ding , Thanks for the help. I spoke with Jack Young today and he recognizes all of my worries, which mirror everything you said. So far on my list I started last night I've got 34 owners and there's many more. Jack said the same thing about sail updates, and thinks that many are content with their old sails. He seems willing to try and help invigorate the class. I'm unemployed (lack of construction work) right now and have a little time to devote to this. I'd love to be racing against you and all the other good F-18 guys ,but I'm not willing to give up my favorite boat ever, to learn a boat that I'd be at a disadvantage from the beginning, until I have zero options. I value your opinion and any help you want to give will be accepted graciously. This stuff ain't my bag, but somebody's gotta do it. Todd The new sailing Chinese acrobat.

The cure for anything is salt water - sweat, tears, or the sea Isak Dinesen If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most. E. B. White
