Oct 12-15 -- NACRA North Americans, FWYC, Ft Walton, FL, tba
How many of the Tybee 20's will take the week and do the NA's?
That would be another week of vacation time...
Those are the folks that care about class legal equipment.... Everyone else just needs gear that measures in and belongs on the level playing field created by your rules.
What is the average age of the 20's in the Tybee? 5 years old perhaps.. A 6 year plan to phase in a new fixed sail plan would leave the age of the boat at 11 years... Hmm... a bit long in the tooth for a race boat.
Classes make changes quickly.... Those that want to stay with the class and be part of the future... move... those that don't plan to race in the class stay put. The A class has development in hulls and foils yearly and the class continues to grow. The difference with the N20 non class is that the A class has a clear racing program that is drawing 15 to 20 boats to the regional regattas and the rules for development are spelled out.
You guys should focus on the class racing program as well as the rules. Racers do races they want to compete in... The class just makes life easier to make it happen.
