You can see the evidence of this divergence with the A cat fleet and I'll be honest I don't hate what they are doing.
Exactly What are the ACATS doing Dave? All we are are the old guys who got tired of hauling backbreaking boats up the beach, who got tired of searching for crew, Who like to sail FAST, Don't mind welcoming a boat someone built in his garage, and still like to sail a one-design class. Is there some perception we're doing something wrong or exclusionary? We're more open than anyone except the F-16 fleet, only in that fact that we can't sail 2UP as an option. I couldn't sail my 5.5 as an F-18 even though it met the measurements. You can sail a homebuilt Woody or an LR3 in A-Class.
Cary the Acat fleet has several A cat only events a year. That's all I'm saying I wasn't taking a shot just making an observation. It appears to be working for the fleet too.
Please explain: I couldn't sail my 5.5 as an F-18 even though it met the measurements
Oh Cary, for the record... an A cat is probably my next stop. Hopefully it's going to be several more years I love where I am now.
