yes Rick, there was only 7 boats at the nationals!( a sad turnout)..but, do you realize that there were actually 25 boats registered originally!!! Unfortunatly 13 of the boats did not have a compt tip, and were turned away----hummmmmmmmm sounds similar to the wave class......Im just wondering....what would 13 to 25 extra entrants do for a regattas budget/ profit margin?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
