Okay, I hope everyone read Rick's post-
I don't really want to appear "pro" either venue because I'm probably gonna get "blamed" for whatever happens no matter what we decide to do. My primary concern is for our class BUT 1) I think we need to consider that Rick helps us (and catsailing in general) out a lot and going to "his" venue would go a small way to repay that, 2) at least one of the manufacturers would prefer to be involved with the F 18HT event, 3) WF is one of the few F 16HP dealers here right now so we should support him, 4) between the publicity surrounding the F 18HT's and being in CatSailors backyard I think we would get more "exposure" there (IMO). As for the venues- I love both spots and Tampa is closer to me also (I guess almost all of us in the US!) but you guys in Tampa are still closer to Rick's than the rest of us-
Is the big issue trailing your boats, more than a weekend, or what really?
