Hi Mary,

Why do I associate class with racing?

Because for the most part... that's what the class does!
The volunteers who make the class activities happen are not running beach parties... they organize racing. The racing is the core of its being. Its what it spends time and money on.

I agree that organizations exist for people who love their type of boats...eg the Catalina owners association. They run raft ups etc.

What beach cat class organization do you have in mind that does not center around racing?
