I have read through all these posts and I can’t figure out how the Performance class gets to send two boats to the Alter Cup when they have not paid their dues. What's up with that? What a bunch of freeloaders. From the list on the US Sailing site it looks like there are plenty of classes that have joined US Sailing. Why not give those two spots to the A class? There are probably more A cats racing in the US than Inter 20s anyway.
