Presumably this is the event.

Wine and Roses NOR

No classes mentioned in this NOR!

It's a big charity event....

Its hosted by the Yacht Club as the OA... not the F18 class... so... when the RC puts you into a class... you are racing them... What's confusing about this?

Oh... and it's for a charity...

It's Worth a repost authored by the ex Laser Class OD president speaking about a DINGHY portsmouth race.

Let's hope your no class fleet is as wildly successful at the texas version. They figured out that it is lots more fun to welcome anything that floats and wonder at how much the owner loves it than to drive away those folks
and forever alienate them.

Sometimes the fleet with no class manages to crack 20 boats...while all the individual one design fleets have 15 or fewer.

It's great.

Wow. What is that? I haven't ever sen one before!!

What's that line for??

Suddenly you have a smiling new sailing friend.

If for some reason the sailor decides competition is more important than his prized toy...he will join the friendliest fleet.

It really is that simple.


PS... anyone think the Hobie 20 who had a weekend of sailing around in circles will be back next year either?
