Well...it's hard to point fingers at anything concrete but it seems that most of the folks that sailed 6.0's in the Tybee500 began to ask themselves why they aren't sailing Nacra 20s. The 6.0NA class is still relatively strong in the North East, Florida Pan handle, and Texas.

I can say that all the sailors were pretty disappointed that Performance chose not to support the New England package but I'm not sure that it had any real negative effect on the class. My opinion is that the 6.0 class is in a pretty serious downswing at the moment and that the majority of that is due to the Nacra 20's strength in offshore ability and health of it's own class. At least around here, if you're going to sail a 20 footer, the Nacra 20 is the only game in town unless you want to sail by yourself.
