Once again, I ask, is there any other group or organization which has PROMOTED and EXECUTED a better, more inclusive style of racing? As we all know, there will never be a perfect way to rate dissimiliar boats, just can't be done. What we need here on the west coast is to get the boats out racing. However that gets done is fine with me. ORCA has had at least 30+ years to do so and although they are mostly extremely intelligent and affable blokes, their racing fleets are in steady decline. Only 2 or 3 boats race ORCA in my area, although there are many, many boats which would qualify. Afterburner vs. one F-boat is more of a sightseeing tour than a race. So, if you gots a better organization then have at it, if your only answer is to sit on the sideline taking potshots at a sincere effort to increase participation, then reconsider, we need all the help we can get.
