One design means several options:

1. As a new Mystere 4.3 owner the manufacturer gave me an option to increase my sailing participation thru racing.. Sail 5 regatta's and get a new jib....Sail 7 and get a new spinnaker..That was all I needed to hear and off I went in search of regatta's.. My new spinnaker is waiting to be picked up..I hear it's pink? way kool... Now because of that offer being made to a fleet of 30 new boat owners an instant fleet was born. OCRA & CRAM gave us the avenues to sail either one design or handicap racing formats. Who cares we were sailing..isn't that the point

2. Thanks to Hobie Cat for providing rental boats again this year and Rick & Mary for continuing a format to race one design at the 4th Wave Nationals in Key Largo. I have been to all four and will continue to support this project because the friends, sailing, location and format are a blast.. With excellent race committee (Drove from Ohio, Doug Young and Carol Fahle) they ran 18 races in 3 days for 36 racers... How can you blast success.. I bet if you asked all those racers what boats they sailed on all summer you'd probably have every cat type boat represented.

A blanket Multihull organization would be a welcome. Just keep avenues open for everyone to race and they will come.

It was fun to see a set of twins from Ohio, the last two summers, participate in many of our events. They have an old H16 and have spent lots of time learning but they are hooked and they are our future in this sport..
