Hi Chris -

I talked to a skipper who had been on the fence about going. He said the venue was an issue as well as the timing. The wave conditions are reportedly quite punishing, and a Tiger practicing there actually broke a mast going through the big, square waves. Yes, that tree-trunk Tiger mast. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

I certainly hope that the various classes can communicate better prior to scheduling next year's events. My opinion, after talking to some folks, is that the Tigers, H16s an F18s were an issue. I'm not trying to stir the pot, but I hope somebody within each organization takes note. There is a lot of cross-over in those fleets.
