Hi Kris,
Just wanted you to know that we support what ever the class would like to do. With out a doubt, it is always nice when an event is in your back yard, but it can’t always be that way.
I think one of key things that are necessary to be a success the class is already on….that is to plan ahead! Some of the other things that make a great event are to make sure a regatta is safe and offers a good PRO and organization on the water for quality racing.
We are very much in favor of having big events and in the future it is our hopes to have the 16s and the 18s working more together. There are some cross over sailors for sure but the reality is it makes sense to have big events for everyone from the sailors to the spectators and especially the organizers.
With regards to the manufacturers, we are trying hard to lead the charge to have the different manufacturers for both the F18’s and F16s support the events and the classes.
With regards to Red Gear Racing. We continue to strive to raise the bar for all sailors and we will continue to train all sailors on all boats.
You will see a common theme in what we do….from coaching with Red Gear Racing, to selling the AHPC boats with Fun in the Sun and our dealers, to trying to reach our youth sailors with the subsidized VIPER Club boats, our mission is to grow and improve the sport of sailing! We will make every effort to be at the class events no matter where they are!
I would appreciate it if you can post this for me.
SAIL FASTER...PUSH HARDER!
Best regards,
