None of it's truly "apples to apples" when the Lighting Class requires all three crew members on the boat to be members of the class (not required in Hobie Classes); and the Laser classes also include all versions of the Laser (Radial). There are other inconsistencies between the membership policies and what drives their numbers.

Of the Hobie Classes, about 70% is Hobie 16. Hobie 17/18/20 make up about 25% and Tigers and everything else make up the other 5%.

The other catamaran class association that was listed as #43 with 100 members was the NACRA class assn.
