Brian,
Zealot, and many others, doesn't understand the difference between liking H-boats and liking IHCA/NAHCA/HCA.
Many of us H-boat owners like our boats, but don't like what has happened.
Personally, I started as a Nacra sailor and moved to the H-17 because of the big fleets they had at LOCAL regattas and the people were great.
Most H-boat owners don't belong to NAHCA. Even ones that belong to local fleets and race locally.
Most H-boat owners don't go to NAs or Mid-winters, so why join NAHCA?
Most H-boat owners, that don't belong to NAHCA, don't know it exists.
Most H-boat owners, that don't belong to NAHCA, have never heard of the "H Way of Life".

Most NAHCA members don't have a clue how it is run or what it is doing.
Most NAHCA members don't know that NAHCA is under the jackboot of IHCA.

And most importantly, the IHCA and NAHCA royalty don't care what the membership and the rest of the world thinks.
SIEG HEIL, MEIN FURHER!!!

All NAHCA needs to do to destroy H-Boat racing is to bring back the points system.
Segregate us into "cans" and "can'ts".
