Hello Matt or Rich McVeigh

Just curious. Two years ago NAHCA designated regional championship regattas and gave the organizers cash and other bennefits in exchange for Hobie only events. (Basically the same result as restricting clubs to designating regattas as Hobie regattas only if they are strictly hobie class boats)

Did this work and how? Did fleets want the cash at the expense of participation by other boats? Did this strategy increase participation by Hobie racers?

Take Care
