It will be interesting to see how this plays out. The devil
is always in the details.

For instance: In the current preliminary Div. 4 schedule,
the Vancouver Yacht Club Waves regatta is listed as a "points" event. This would indicate that it is "sanctioned". Well, Waves (a really cool event) is open
to all sorts of boats, everything from Lasers and Opti's to big boats. If the yacht club decides to have a seperate start for other cats, does this leave the Div. 4 open to legal action from INCA? And if so, would Hobie acually take
any legal action against their own Div. or members? More likely they just take the "points" note out of the listing.
But must they also remove the listing? Are they now unable to affiliate with yacht clubs that allow other types of boats, of just other types of cats? Questions not easily answered, but must be some how addressed in some sort of official policy that has yet to be written

For us X classers, it will mean that we will have to persue other avenues. Someone wrote that Laser events are
exclusivly Laser. Wrong. At the local level they are more
than happy to split costs with other fleets. Yacht clubs are
usually more than happy to take on more boats too.
