Mike,

I know HCA and HCC don't have a problem they don't own the water, boats or sailors. My point is they don't provide any support or help if we let the X boats come to our regattas. WE have a great regatta that all cats are welcome even Hobie's called Spring Fever put on by a great group of people that love the sport and friendship with no support from HC that I know of. I think the biggest turn out was around 180 boats with most years being around 100 boats. If we had Hobie only regattas there are not enough Hobie's left to have a regatta. One of the regattas we lost was put on by a Hobie dealer.
Where is the rest of the country ? I don't know of any Hobie only regattas in the southeast NC, SC, GA, FL, most TX, TN, AL, LA I may be wrong on some sates.
