I still wonder how healthy the class is. I only see part of the picture (Division 11), but the H20 is not a functioning class there and it causes me to wonder if that is happening a lot around the country.
The H20 sailors on the coasts have switched to the Tiger or other spin boats, but in the middle of the country, the 20 is still very strong. It's probably the fastest growing boat in our fleet (61 in Denver) and is very popular in other Midwest states. Of the 35 to 45 Hobies that show up at our regattas, about 25 percent or more are H20s.
On a different subject: Hey, Jake. I think an upwind race between an I20 and an H20 would be very close, but without a head-to-head test, it's impossible to tell (the gauntlet is thrown!)
See ya on the water!
