I don't think anyone is even close to suggesting we "keep the F18 out" and I too agree that it is the future of the race. However, it's far too early and I think the race should continue to support both classes until, at least, they start running out of beach and hotel resources. It's better for everyone to have more boats.

I can also live with the handicap and fleet scoring but would prefer to see the handicap part toned down a little from the headlines because it's not representative of the sailors and the racing on the water.
