Hey, Bob Curry, I don't think your vote should count. You don't have to care. You are always so far ahead of everybody else, it doesn't matter whether it is one-design or handicap.

It's a good thing nobody has posted a poll asking what flavor of ice cream people prefer between vanilla and chocolate.
"Well, sometimes I like vanilla, and sometimes I like chocolate."
"Well, actually I like both equally, so I can't choose between them."
"Well, why can't we mix the vanilla and chocolate together?"
The way the premise of that poll SHOULD be set up is that if you don't make a choice between vanilla and chocolate, you just aren't going to get any ice cream at all.

I vote For One Design, everyone please buy an Inter 20.
This might as well be vanilla and Chocolate, Even if everyone voted for one design it would make 0 no nada zip difference in the world. This poll is meaningless you might as well make the poll (and I would but cant figure it out) I would like to buy a _________ from hobie and race one design. I would not like to buy a ___________ from hobie and will continue to race what I already own.
I love one design racing because you know exactly how you are doing at all points of sail and the tactics are way more fun. I only get to do it at about one or two regattas a year. and even then I have to sail through the slower boats and deal with boats on the course that I am not even sailing against. If your question is Portsmouth or not race then I vote portsmouth.
So I read your reply to mean that you actually prefer one-design but you are voting for Portsmouth. In that case, you are right -- the poll does not mean anything.
What is so difficult about having a preference? I'm just not getting something about how people look at polls.
P.S. I don't have a clue what one-design racing has to do with Hobie, so why do people keep bringing that up?

Personaly, I much prefer 1 design. I would much rather sail in a 6 boat A cat fleet then in a 20 boat portsmouth fleet. I am far more interested in the sailing then the social aspects of regattas. However, I also (belatedly) realized that if you are going to train and practice, you better have a boat that you enjoy sailing. Some previus boats I have owned have been fun to race because of the competition but have not been very enjoyable for me to sail. I found myself hating the boat even as I enjoyed the regattas. I prefer responsive, high tech boats that I enjoy sailing. I can go out on any given day by myself on the A cat and have a blast sailing. Fortunately I have an outlet and that is the A cat in the summer and the DN iceyacht in the winter. If I lived elsewhere, I would probably be screwed. I honestly don't know what I would do if I moved to an area that I couldn't race one design.
