If it’s true, it would be a shame if there is no scheduled qualifying event for area B and/or A…. A few years back, there was active interest in hosting the qualifier in upstate NY… but the interest was largely ignored.
There’s a great event called “CMOR” hosted by Shark Fleet 1 and the Canandaigua Yacht Club. This year they had 31 boats comprising of Sharks, F18s, A’s, H14, H16, H20 and Tornado. Last year they had upwards of 50 boats on 1 large start line. Seems to me it may be a good fit if the organizers and US sailing reps were interested… just thinking out loud.
