I agree with whitecaps on this one... too many boat-specific forums will sort of detract from the great pool of knowledge that's here and available to us all. If Carl Roberts only posted in the RC27 forum, a great number of us newer cat enthusiasts would miss out on his great advice, just to create one example.
<br>
<br>I look at postings that may have a bearing on the type of boat I sail, even if it isn't the exact same type; most practices and thories apply across the classes and it would be a shame (not to mention a pain in the @$$) to have to go into all the class-specific forums to hunt for the good advice that people share in this general forum.
<br>
<br>Granted, if there's an in-depth discussion on how to measure a H16 for class legality, I wouldn't miss it being in their pages, but so much of the other info and advice is too valuable to hide from most readers of this website.
<br>
<br>I don't know who said it first, but: "Can't we all just get along?" ;-)
<br>
<br>Cheers,
