Jake, F 18s and Nacra 17s shall be included. The N 17 just won the Texel Race on corrected time, and that speaks for itself.

I have a clue who this jaybird is, and he is really out of the loop. I just spent a high energy weekend covering the Challenge Cup, and being on the water with many of those which jbird mentioned, but I never see him enter ANY races unless they happen in his own backyard, much - less spend a week on the race committee during a national - level championship.

I hold no grudge because I can not make myself angry or spiteful. My SOARS account is my evidence, and I now consider this matter closed.

When the MHC completes its proposal we will be back with the details. We are hoping to finally resolve this at the annual meeting in September before the Lipton Cup.
