Not much to do with Tradewinds, but...
Hobie really ought to start using Course 4 again.
AMEN!
Downwind finishes are tactically challenging, especially in spinnaker boats.
True, but what percentage of total boats are Tigers racing HCA events?
The "excuse" I hear in our area (for the unpopularity of the Tiger) is that they are too much work for our small lakes. I'm sure this will change as folks get the taste of spi boats, we really do lag behind the coasts. That said, the most popular boat here is the H20. So, why does HCA feel the need to eliminate B for the "rest of us"? It doesn't have to be used in every race.
The opinionated view of a sloop rig sailor.
