The 430 is a 14ft. It would have to be one of the most contested classes in OZ, strongest around Lake Macquarie - Windrush, Maricat, Hobie turbo, etc
At the Nationals Ashby has been known to turn up and he doesn't always win.
That's a nice sentiment, but they race off different yardsticks, so in reality I don't think you can say they are truly one class - at least not in my opinion... saying that it's nice to know there is a high level of competition in this set of classes and an active racing scene, so if you get a 14, there's at least some others to compete against.
