What evidence do you have that One design racing is growing participation in the sport of cat racing and not just shuffling the players… (Eg Dave Ingram is a perfect example of a the shuffle I and MystereBob observed)
With that question you are hijacking your own thread.
Obviously, nothing that happens within our little catamaran community brings in outside people. We just shuffle around from boat to boat, class to class.
But I do think that if we had a good variety of viable one-design classes in a lot of venues, we would be more likely to attract new sailors from the monohull ranks.
