This is exactly the reason why I appreciate the fact that the Hobie classes are pretty dead over where I am and open fleets are alive and well. Now they themselfs can just shut up and sit on the beach or swallow their pride and sail open class with the rest of us.

Funny really, how other classes never seem to want to exclude Hobies while hobie always wants to exclude all other classes. One more reason why I would never own a Hobie. The other reason is that I think that a 3 boat FX-one class at a regattas is not a class just 3 sailors acting really silling.
