Saw a post elsewhere that proposed a 14-foot class association or something to the effect. I own a 14-foot boat and would be interested in seeing something develop. I have enjoyed sailing against other, similar-performing boats at the events I've attended as a skipper. The thought that some of the 14-footers out there might get together, break free of potentially outdated and limiting one-design rules, and start a loose "formula" style movement sounds great! My one-design class association has been terrific in setting up rules that allow for innovation and experimentation with sails, hardware, and number of crew. We're at http://mystereowners.org/mystere/ if anyone's interested.

I like the idea of racing Bob Curry's H14 with that square-top main and huge headsail... Bring the noise, BC!
