Also, in our area, CRAC supports the local Hobie Fleets by association and through promoting some of the regattas, as well as helping to run them. Checking the CRAC schedule for 2004 shows 5 or 6 races that will now be dates open in the CRAC schedule. The Hobie Fleets in question certainly cannot now risk being associated with CRAC.

Possible replacements - a F18 and an A-Cat invitational could fill two of them. With X-Class starts. Also, the new distance race proposed in Ocean City has new dates open to it.
