I think it should be up to the Hobie fleets, when they publish their 2005 schedules, to indicate what events are "Open" and what events are "Hobie only."

At this point probably a lot of them do not yet know what they are going to do next year when the new policy goes into effect. It's kind of early to ask that question.

I know some are waiting to see if the policy is going to stand or be rescinded.

It would be nice if a vote could be taken of the HCA membership to see what the majority of the sailors and the fleets would prefer, but apparently that is not an option.
