So I guess a question I have would be; has there ever been talk about setting up “Old School Class” for F-18 racing.
From this discussion; it appears that with the advancement in design many of you feel that a Hobie Tiger, NACRA F-18, etc… are not competitive platforms against the newer generation boats, but are still great boats…
Seems this would be a great way to keep the casual racer involved with out the needed expense of having to have to keep up with the latest and greatest.
Thoughts?
Absolutely not!!! That is the dangerous talk that is helping to divide what is left of the I20 fleet. Besides, I would bet money that if I put Tomko or Mischa on a Tiger and borrowed their boat, they would still whip me. The older boat designs are dated, no doubt, but they can still be competitive in certain conditions. As far as I know the Tiger still enjous a pretty active Tiger One Design class.
