Matt, the premise of your post, and at the root of the recurring suggestion from Pete to do combined events, is that the two fleets somehow aren't promoting catamaran sailing. Both are, and doing it well. They do it a little differently. You shouldn't be surprised that, after suggestion #942,673 to do a combined event, you might get an exasperated response.
John,
I am sure the people involved all feel they are promoting sailing. I do not mean to say otherwise. I however, do not agree with the current approach.
I am not expecting this to change, by posting my opinion or not. It is my opinion and if I was just sailing my A class or my H16 still ,I would feel the same way about it.
I do not understand (what I perceive) as paranoia from some in both the F16 and F18 class.
Carry on
