BINGO

Hobie sailors go racing... I'll bet if you look at the how many events the hard core Hobie 16 sailors do compared to monohull dinghy's or other cat classes you will see that they have 5 or 6 buoys events a year and 15+ years of experience behind them. AND they travel to go racing.

That commitment keeps things going and puts them at the front of the fleet ...

The trick to bringing the number of racers up is to get new people involved but competing at the appropriate level... The B and C fleet's of days gone by were the key to racing's growth... Our inability to keep those numbers going costs us. Beginers or people sticking their toe in the racing game must have some way to feel some success in the racing game. Any thoughts???
