OK, let me put this out there. Would this be supported?
2014: Hobie 16 2015: IWCA Wave 2016: F18
Finals are stand-alone events, BYOB, scheduled in the spring/early summer, four-day race weekend, optional clinic on registration day (fifth day).
Qualifiers the prior year on the appropriate boat, held at local existing regattas meeting all current US Sailing rules, no other way into finals.

I love it! I think that's a great way to start as long as the event works around possible conflicts (of which the Hobie 16 has many significant events).
