This thread was hijacked!

My summary and question were... What is the impact.
Based on the responses. I would modify the summary of the survey as follows.

Texas, the Gulf coast, Florida, the South East and the Chesapeake.... No changes on the water. Club have chosen to run open regattas with one design classes.

Upstate New York. Some non hobie sailors cannot participate in regattas that they previously supported in the New York Region.
The Shark one design fleet may loose out on some racing since other clubs don't reciprocate and host them any longer
Hobie sailors without one design fleets race in a smaller Hobie open.

New Jersey/Deleware. No changes. No non hobie racers who loose out. Hobie 20 and tiger sailors have very small open hobie fleets.

Sandy Hook... They run both kinds of events.

New England. Clever sheduling means Hobie and non hobie sailors compete at seperate clubs for two weekends.

Colorado. No changes... No non hobie sailors who would loose out.

Wisconson, Michigan and Ohio run open events. No changes, Two events seem to be Hobie only.

One cryptic comment concerning California about non hobie sailors missing out on traditional regattas. ???? Could be the region most impacted by the politics.

Hobiezelot is right. The horse is dead... The question is ...

Did the rotting carcas of the dead horse foul the water?

Have I characterized your region accurately?

Take Care

(Started me thinking about how long the pope can last on that slab before he starts stinking since they don't pickle popes)


PS Dave and Mary... start your own thread on the virtues of one design.
