The point is, one design excludes people who would otherwise be great competition. The largest statewide sailing organization is stacked with NACRA 6.0 NA's. I am sure I will take my fair share of greif for picking up a Hobie 20 Miracle. It was the boat I wanted in the condition I wanted at the price I wanted. The criteria none of which any NA's I investigated satisfied. I am just glad that the local sailing fleet is made up of PRINDLES, NACRAS, HOBIES and even a TORNADO. An "open" bunch to say the least.
