One design infrastructure.

Jeremy... it seems you have two full on race programs on the west coast. The A class and the F18.
You have a second equally committed tier with Hobie 16's, which speaks to a different group of sailors.

You have two race niches left. the two person non spin performance boats. (Hobie 20 Hobie 18) and this niche which is the single handed with spin class. I would not see the need to market the boat as a OD race class until it happens. Just make sure that the sailors have one opportunity a month to go race the F16 in an open class...

Some might say that "CRAP another cat race class will dilute the racing scene". My argument is that this race boat fills a niche that is empty. Moreover, the idea that by killing new classes so as to preserve the existing racing status quo always seems to die. When life changes for a sailor... no amount of class strenght in an F18 or Hobie 16 can balance... crew...and no crew issues.

When and if a critical racing mass materializes... then... its a great problem to have.
