You know... I think I did join the HCA class.... at Nigel's Spring Fever Regatta years ago and then I was not allowed to join the following year.... something about not owning a Hobie....
I call bullsmoke ! Anyone can join the Hobie Class Association. Boat ownership is not required
I also have a problem with joining a class where my vote is irrelevant. I have this thing about a democratic process.
Mark, for someone who is not a member, you spend an awful lot of time throwing stones at the HCA and offering opinions about how they ought to be running their organization.
Quite honestly, I cannot imagine that the F-18NAC organization is all that excited about the HCA running open events for the F-18 Class. In the fullness of time it could make them (the F-18NAC)at best less effective, and at worst, rather irrelevant.
