Hi Chris --good question



Organizing any major event is a difficult task , it is always very easy to critisize the Worrell or any event but we in the vast majority are very happy it is run each year along with the positive exposure to our great sport and the fantasic racing capturing the imagination of human potential and basic human spirit it inspiresin many., Race organizers wish to appoint a committee of knowledgable catsailors to oversee the measurement and rules aspect of the Tybee race just as we have done in the Worrell with sails ,safety inspections etc with appointed race officials and staff which do a tremendous job each year.



-Just as in the Worrell on 18hts Bimars proposed for next year the Tybee organizers have stated their desire for the race to be in 18s and 20s with shutes . Some events are class specific ,-this year some of the major events are Wave Natl's --at Ricks ,-A Class Worlds East Coast ,-Hobie Natl's in Oct at Kirks --, Performance. Natls -in Traverse City MI in Sept ,along with Formula 18 Championships.-Tornado Olympic qualifying events ,-F-16 events ,-and numerous 18 ht events ,--plus numerous other major events and distance races sometimes limited plus the Worrell 1000 and new Keys to Tybee race.

If I had the time and $ I would love to race and sail in them all ,

really hope to try the 18ht and race the W-1000 also next year if that remains the only choise of boat , all racing is good .I enjoy them all and hope to race in several classes as many catsailors now do .



Should catsailors race a H-14 in 120 mile distance race legs , or should 30s be entered , once you start limiting entrants to catagory to provide fair equal racing how do you best accomplish this .--

The application of similar length Formula classes for this type of major distance racing is the correct one .Are you planning on the 03 Worrell on your 18ht B .-many of us would like to learn more about these ht boats before making a decision ,-

thanks
