Hi Rex -
They don't have to be F18-only events - just events where all F18s are welcome, sail the same course and can be scored together. That's all you need to accumulate points, and all the NAF18 site needs to let class members know where and when they can race other F18s. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
In that case, put the Joe Manganello Memorial Regatta on your calendar!
Hope to see lots of F18's! (all beach cats <=21 feet are welcome!)
