What's amazing is every single one of you have the answer. It seems the family oriented groups are stronger though and go the distance with there events that allow both handicap and class racing .The unending struggle to squeeze everyone into F16 or 18 or open seems to be only a problem for the part time sailor the "in betweens",that cannot afford new boats at this time .In order to get moving there needs to be more general interest in the racing as an event and also less ego's or clique's within sailing groups.I have not been to many races but the ones I have been there is always a clique between the new and older boats,I could very well be wrong but have been a victim of it ,this is probably to be expected and is a turn off. Some of you have been to our older on a limb but hopefully soon to be reorganized cat events here in Delray with a new life. I too have had to try and grow up quickly as I am a relative new-comer in the sport .It is easy to get excited into having the next best thing and not concentrating on the basics. On a side note personally I would like to see Delray as having the full spectrum of events.There unfort seems to be not enough sailors for all the product line! Any Idea's to promoting a plan to the City without them runing scared is more then welcome.Their are 60 spots on the beach plus private storage at the south end for none-Delray residents. Generally there is good spirited helpful individuals and the pay-it foreward attitude goes far. Merry Christmas and Happy holidays to all.........Bob Grubb Delray Fl.
