A few questions from the outside...

1, What size are your "meetings"; Most classes in the UK do joint (or more events). few weeks ago was Reg-fest; probably 100 boats in 4 different classes; 10 days time is the grafham open; around 150 boats on 8 starts on 2 courses; over the spring / summer there are probably 20 odd "multu class" opens; the ONLY time we generally have single class events is nationals etc; even then the smaller classes team up.

2, What is the problem sailing on a course with a few more boats; yes it is a little more busy!

3, yes some people switch classes, but hey; much better to have people sailing a boat they like (or fancy a change to) than not sailing at all!
