Thanks Mike for the reminder
I dropped my OCRA reference somewhere along the line.

The reason for the poll is to address the consequences of the following trend.
The recent success of large turnouts for F18’s led them to be split off at CORK leaving a very small open class. The F18HT’s were split off at Va Beach leaving no open class (They went home or did not come in the first place. Barnegat scored classes with 1 boat in them as well as 3 or 4 boat classes. Is this what racers want?

I believe that OCRA and Catfight scoring would make it a great weekend for everyone and do exactly what you say. As the season winds down and regatta schedules are firmed up for next year the choices we make will push us further down the road. Which fork do people believe will grow racing in their region. Put your 2 cents in by voting.

Remember… this is NOT a poll about what you would PREFER… (I would prefer to join a club with 25 active Tornado racers in a nice windy area with a great yacht club) Rather it's about what will GROW PARTICIPATION in cat racing in your area.


Currently the votes favor OCRA/CATFIGHT 60 to 40 over a one design program for growing participation.
