Nigel, I don't know how many of us there are, but I know at least a couple of guys in Division Twelve got 17's last year. I haven't raced yet, but hope to. I will probably race Open Class With the boomless square top main. There is a really strong 17 class in New Jersey. Last year at The Buzzard Regatta in New Bedford Mass. they all showed up with new boats! The racing class was dwindling in New England, and veteran sailors like Ted Knowlton were considering new boats for solo racers. Hopefully there is a growing class once again! Though I'd like to have all you other Square Tops and jibs to race with! As far as the web-site, it would be fun to have a place to post our pictures etc...Otherwise, I am very happy coming here every day! Brian
