Tami, we share a similar experience in Div.4 as Fleet 204. You are right,it is the people. Multiple fleets can still coexist. At a recent Regatta we saw the resurgence of the H-14 Fleet. The Tiger fleet is probably our fastest growing fleet. Some have shifted from the H-18, Others have rejoined Hobie racing from the big boats. Second and third generations share positions on all the boats; Waves, H-14's, H-16's, H-18's and Tigers. Even our H-17 Fleet is growing with some new younger sailors.
It is the people, not the boat. Very few are racing new boats. Most of our racers have family affordable experienced boats.
