It notes suggestions observations etc

Noticed only I 20s and a 6/0 to date.

Its great to have a Formula 18 class included -
No one expects the 18s to compete with the 20s except in extreme upwind conditions where their smaller proportional sailplans may help .
But the F-18s should be given a distict seperate start and earlier time off the beach and that made clear for the 18s , their own 18 class and start .Think that would encourage more to enter.

Noted the Texas race inc up to 21 s ,
-- another option to provide another class to increase partisipation ,-
The Worrell in the 80s had an open category , the only limit was a 20 ft length , no other limits applied on design or modification. This could be a seperate class category with seperate start time as well ,-latter .
Boats appeared like a SC 20s with wingmast ,--6/0s with large wings and racks ,-a lightweight planning type was tried,
Existing cats like the SC 20 - Marstom 20 -Ventillo 20 -CRF -Tornado -could be a part of this class as well as any type of 20 ft cat . The starts may stagger a half hour between each class, enough time to be over the horizon in wind . just a suggestion .
It might expand partisipation and interest .

The old W-1000 has been run numerous times on the I 20s
It is nice to see the race change and open up more for other 8.5 beam factory -production 20s , and a Formula 18 class option ,-- It might be great fun to expand it further in a seperate unlimited 20 ft class to draw in more teams from all corners of the catsailing realm .
