Well said, I am also anti exclusion, Not sure what HCA has that is not freely available to anyone or why the racing community cares what this manufacturer decries. Our fleets could hold hobie only regatta's and 1/2 the boats would show up. While this might seem an acceptable loss to some I would ask why? Why does anyone care what Hobie demands, Our fleet is insured directly and separately from HCA, we are free Americans and we enjoy being such. I say put an end to racism or fleetism. If cat sailors need to belong then why not the American or World Catamaran Assn. with a Texas fleet and a California fleet. There are all kinds of racism, why do cat sailors have to indulge in yet another kind of we and them.
