John, I am well aware that things are differant all over and would remind everyone that the HCA was told by the IHCA that all regattas had to be Hobie only. This was not initiated by the HCA. I didn't agree with how things were handled and presented to the sailors. There is a lot of history that many new sailors are not aware of and form opinions of the HCA without knowing anything about what happened and the people involved. The Madcatter is coming up, as soon as the water gets soft again, and I would love to see a huge F18 fleet competing, but we don't have that option if we want to remain a points regatta. There has been a changing of the gaurd at the IHCA and HCA level and things may change again. In short, I would say that everyone should promote what they are doing for sailing and not put down another orginization.
I would also like to invite the Sharks to come play.
