Interesting that you find it necessary to "protect the gonads of the innocent" especially since you're the poster child for the whole light of day thing. Don’t bother telling me who said it I know who it was and their motivation behind it. And Pete it’s not as altruistic as you think it is.
As long as the F18 fleet has the critical mass to find a host willing to put on our North American Championship with an F18 only course we will always work towards that goal. This of course assumes that it is the wishes of the USF18 membership to pursue this type of format. The USF18 fleet is run by the members for the members and if wants to go in a different direction that's what we will do.
Personally I don’t see how adding another fleet to the F18 course enhances the North American F18 Championship.

I share the viewpoint of Ding and like him I really wish you'd stop trying to stir the pot, all your doing is creating politics that detract from what the F18 and F16 for that mater are doing to grow. You say it's just sailing, but to people like Ding and others who have done the work, it's a lot more.
