In ten years we will be a Hobie 16 class. The Hobie 16 class is not big enough to play by itself (and it will not grow fast enough). We need friends. Any questions?
No, just a statement. If we keep approaching this the way we have, we won't even have a Hobie 16 class in 10 years. We need new people to sail Hobies more than we need new (complex) boats for them to sail.

Do you really think the suggestion is that we stop looking for new sailors?
This proposal has nothing to do with new (complex) boats. F18's have been around for years now. If people want to sail them they will. The F18 class doesn't need the HCA to get itself off the ground.
This is about two classes going to the same place on any given weekend to ensure critical mass, and to give the Tiger sailors a real fleet.
It's that simple.
