What TigerMike says is right, they are developing a "specific" series, but am I correct Mike in saying that the traveller series races are still all sailed at yacht clubs using the clubs facilities on their “normal” race days together with many other classes on the water? Isn’t that a good example of associations and manufacturers working together here in Australia with the clubs, all for the benefit of the sailers? It would seem (from what I read in these posts) to be that in the states, the different classes want to sail “by themselves” and they apparently do it away from organised clubs out on some beach or other. Isn’t that a little like “divide and conquer”? Or at the least it reduces the overall number of sailers at any one event. To my way of thinking, the more boats on the water at one time (regardless of their type or class) the more enjoyable the sailing and the more boats that the public see together, the more they are likely to become interested in “joining” the fun. To sail with 70 or more other boats on the water (cats and mono’s) every week at your local club is much more pleasurable than sailing with only 4 to 6 boats of your same class “away” from all the club camaraderie, that sounds to me like a lonely way of racing.
