I race a hobie because I want to, if i wanted to race another cat I could, all over the north-east, at almost all hobie regatta's. would I expect to go to nacra or mystere ect.'s national championship on my hobie? No, why would you have a one design portsmouth race?

As for brainwashing I have never seen anyone belittle another cat sailor for whatever they chose to sail, I guess up here where the season's short we just don't have time for that crap, we all just like to sail.

by the way I don't race my H16 because it's the best boat, I know it's not the fastest bigest strongest..... but it's the most fun for me, racing boat for boat head to head, one design. You wanna race portsmouth, go ahead most, hobie fleets will acomodate you across the country but don't take my fun away just because it's not your fun.

ps just because ford is the number 1 truck dealer does that mean they should start sell chevy's too? you know, to make it fair.
