One-Design sailing and open class sailing can and do coexist...the Midwest is living proof of that. CRAM, CRAW, and OCRA provide both one-design racing, when there are enough of the same boat to make a fleet...and when there are not, they provide an open fleet and utilize portsmouth ratings.

Additionally, I don't think there would be a single person in any of those groups who would say that the revitalization of the Hobie fleets and Division 10 itself has been detrimental to their organizations. I fact, we have added significant numbers of boats to some of their events.

The Hobie Class Association is one of the best one-design class associations in the world. By directing all of their efforts to one-design racing, we can assure the continuing growth and success of local, regional, national, and world events. One design racing...racing in it's purest form.
