Hi Robi,
I agree with Mary.., your enthusiasm should really help. And if it were not for Jennifer there would probably be no class at all.

Just to clarify, Jennifer sailed in the F18 Class at the Tradewinds.., there was no F16 Class.
And while there seems to be some F16s around, the problem seems to be that they never travel to regattas, therefore most racing with these boats is in the Open Portsmouth Class.

What the F16 Class needs to do is use this forum or a get an email list going so that everyone is prompted to go to certain regattas in order to make a class. That is what we do with the Waves and it works pretty well.
Pretty simple to email 10 or 12 people and suggest the Tradewinds, Jetty Park, Gulfport, or whatever and get a poll on who will be attending. If no one wants to travel, then scratch that event and try for another.

"The F16's are invited to the GPYC A cat nationals, thats something HUGE for the class..."
This is NOT the A-Cat Nationals, rather the A-Cat Gulf Championship and there are only 4 of them registered. And if our F16 was so strong we would have more than 4 F16s registered as well. I will make up the 5th boat, if I can make it. Looking good at the time.

I was pretty pumped about the F16 Class but have been pretty disappointed with attendance in the last couple of years. I hope between you and Jennifer ya'll can get everyone excited again.

Rick
