Looking back on results from past Rochester events along with all of Div.16 shows that there has not been more than 7 non Hobie boats in the past 10 plus years at any regatta Many of the boats listed in the open class were Hobie's. There is usually only 4 non Hobie's. The open class did not start up in Div.16 because of a demand by non Hobie's but by the protest of Hobie owners that did not want to use a comp tip. Inviting non Hobies was started by the smaller events to help them financially. Fleet 204 did not exclude anyone. As per fleet charters we ran a Hobie only event all along. I personally think it would be great to have an F18 start and allow the Sharks from Canandaigua to participate at the Madcatter. The CMOR regatta the Shark Fleet runs is great and has always welcomed us. It would be nice to reciprocate and allow thier one design fleet to race with us.
