I am not anti-exclusion on the part of the Hobie people. I am just pro one-design and/or formula for all classes of boats. If the Hobie Class policy works to increase the size of their one-design fleets, that's great.

Meanwhile, one-design fleets of other classes will have more chance to grow because they now have more opportunities to race in Open, non-Hobie events as one-design fleets instead of being put into a Portsmouth class.

So the Hobie policy is probably already resulting in helping more of the non-Hobie one-design fleets to flourish.
