Brian-

Thanks for the info. I should clarify again. I was told that I could "race" in Div 4 events, but that it would not be "even" racing with the Tigers. So the event is not an F18 event. The Wildcat would start with the Tigers and be scored seperately. So this gets you on the water and on a course with other boats, but takes away the competition and strategies that come with a race series. In that case, a guy would almost want to stay out of the way of Tigers that may be contenders- covering, even incidentally, and aggressive starts would be almost rude if you are not "in the fleet". This certainly changes the way you sail and the experience in general. Is this the way you understand it? Or do I have some bad info.

Disclaimer- I am not complaining here. Just making sure I know what I am getting into!
