Well Said,



To blame the decline in sailing on NAHCA is pretty narrow minded. NAHCA is the only multihull class organization that has remained even remotely successful even with the decline in sailings popularity.



The people who sail Hobies dont do it because they have some deep seated lust for the Hobie Company, or are under the misguided impression that Hobie is the only company who can build good boats, they sail them because they enjoy 1 design sailing. NAHCA is the only National organization that promotes 1 design. Why should they change their formula, which has been succesful, to incorporate ideas that have failed for a variety of reasons with organizations of the past.



Without Hobie, there is no one dedicated to promoting 1 design sailing, and despite the banter on this web sight, there are a lot of racers who prefer that type of racing.



Sail Fast
