Just curious

Exactly How many NAF18 Regattas were there in North America with 10 boats or more in 2006? How about 5 boats?

I will bet that the Hobie Tiger Class had better turnouts and more events that reach that modest bench mark then NAF18.

So... if you spent a lot of money....you probably aren't getting your money's worth.

If its so important to have an absolutely pristine race course... no traffic, no waiting, etc etc. Buy a venue and race committe and run events just for the NAF18...
Tornado's do this... So do the A cats!

You should be able to do that for a 100 bucks a day per boat... (This is where your money should follow your mouth)

God forbid the slow boats go first... Why... they would be in the way... How could you have fair competition with a hobie 16 in the way heck... i know... they should tack away so that your race is not compromised!

My point is.... to stop standing on that soap box and telling the gullible that the NAF18... is the greatest thing since sliced bread and nobody should be in its sandbox... or shudder, be scored with the F18'. This is laughable... and sad!

PS... for the purposes of the Portsmouth ratings... they only need the first F18, the First F16 and the first n20 elapsed time around the same race course.

The rest of the scores are for the sailors to see how they are doing against the fleet.
