Has anyone bothered to ask f18 groups about the lack of interest in MWE?
Sarasota Sailing Squadron is having the Sarasota Sailfest the same weekend. Right now SSS is the center of the univerise for F18 sailing in FL especially for the young and energetic.
Dick MacDonald is gearing up for the FL300 and is focused on doing distance races, MKL, Tampa Run...
Fred from the Panhandle won't do bouy's
Matt DeRego's boat hasn't been delivered.
Taylor is consumed by his olympic activities.
For me, it's really difficult to justify the 10 hour drive one way to race against Hobie 20's, sounds like a great venue and even better people, maybe slip to ship.
I'm also in a small group that is even willing to consider driving 10 hours one way to a regatta.
I can't speak for the Texas F18 sailors.

SSS - April 5&6
SF - April 18-20 (Cancelled)
