Our Fleet and a number of other Fleets in Division 16 have decided to go with the one-design approach because it's basically what everyone wants; to be able to test their skills against a sailor and not a boat. Of course, our decision was made easier since we have very few none-Hobie racers in our area, nothing near the competition in the mid-west or down in Florida.

If the numbers of non-Hobies in our area ever increases, I could see us changing our approach to racing. But right now, we're happy to just be on the water and racing one-design.
