I'm not really sure why people seem to be taking this so personally. A group of sailors brought up valid reasons why they don't think it's worth it to travel so far to attend a regatta that has a scoring format that isn't very much fun unless you are a part of a one-design class. Seems like a valid gripe to me. The individuals who volunteer there time to run the event have a choice to change the format to make it more appealing for open class racers to come or not. The balls in your court now guys. You no longer have to wonder why you don't have a wider variety of catamarans on the starting line. Is that wrong? No. Certainly makes it fun for all the one-design racers, just don't take it personally when they don't want to invest in the time and expense to travel for a weekend regatta and only compete against a handful of sailors on drastically different boats, and less desireable courses.
