As far as combining a bunch of classes NAs together, that has very little appeal to me. I make a decision to go to an event based on the sailing, and the social side has very little bearing on my attendance. While multi-class events are great for increasing exposure of a fleet to other members of the sailing community, a single fleet event allows for more races to be run with less waiting between races and optimal course lengths. A very skilled race committee can make multiple fleets work, but for an event like a NA championship, my preference would be to keep it a single class event.
If we are listing pro's and con's on a multi-class event; their are a few lucky racers that compete in multiple classes. A mega event will limit their participation across classes/fleets.
