Personally, I have always thought that NAHCA (North American Hobie Class Association), as the umbrella organization for ALL of the Hobie classes, should provide different forums or "groups" on their website for each of their different classes, since each type of boat has its own interests, concerns, issues, rigging situations, rules, etc. It seems as though the approach has always been to lump all the Hobie classes together generically as "Hobies."

Perhaps it would be helpful for each individual class to have more of a voice and a little bit of autonomy within the overall class association so that the individual needs of each class can be more easily seen and addressed by NAHCA. And so that NAHCA can conduct polls or have votes on issues that are class-specific.

If NAHCA has something like that, please tell me and I will apologize for mentioning it, because I am not always good at navigating through websites.
