Brian, I'm not trying to stir anything; but I don't think it's right for these types of posts to go unchallenged. While they may represent true feelings, they are often based on half-truths.

I'm a Hobie guy too, but that has nothing to do with my point. These same arguments can apply to monohull fleets and events.

Why can't Boat A's fleet promote themselves without a sailor from Boat B getting offended? I don't buy the same old arguments, those don't move us forward.
