Ha, I wondered if the M20 guys thought of their class as successful... compared to the cat world yes... but compared to the Melges standard... not so much.

At the start of the M24 class... It was not a high dollar class.. It is now... and that is part of it's appeal.

Yes. the J70 is taking off... (not the older j80 my flub) Interesting that the j70 is a less technical boat as well

The sociology of 4 on a boat and how much sailing skill you need works.
