BUT, we shouldn't kid ourselves that inviting the F18 class will solve all the problems, we really need new blood.
No, Hobie should stop trying to make SMOD classes from succesful formula classes.
The scene is diluted no because "new blood" doesn't find their way to the Tiger design, but because Hobie split the Tiger class off from its proper sailing class (the F18's) and creates so many sub classes.
There are over 20 differnt Hobie classes. What other thing then dilution do you think would have happened ?
The scene didn't leave Hobie, Hobie left the scene.
Sorry
