What if a few serious racers decide to join the class and go there? There may be a couple of guys there already that might think of themself as serious racers



Then they can organise for themselves such events (or series of events). Neither the class nor the other more recreational sailors will stop them from organising that; they will only prevent the class from being dominated by such a group of F16 sailors.

The fact that the class is not intended for that goal doesn't mean it is forbidden.

You may get a little less direct class support for such events, compared to the challenges etc, but that will be logical. Although, I also can see both variants to co-exist side by side very well.
