Just an outsider view here.
What about two levels of membership. In the Star class (mono's) we had associate memberships for crews, fans, inactive sailors ect.. which gave them newsletters and complete involvement, however to vote on rules, you must be a voting member which requires you to be a boat owner.

Agreed, associate membership would be a very good way to support the F16 class and stay in touch. I wont be eligible to join the class until Jan 2006 but would like to show my support now, I bet there are many more who feel the same way. I've spoken to three other local sailors with plans to move into F16 but it takes time to change classes. It would be great to show support now with an associate member scheme.
