I concurr (speaking as a private F16 owner)
Laid my F16 on the beach this weekend; it had been at the Spring Cup club for the last month for the racing. At my club there is interest in both boats and association. It will take time before they are owners and so indeed seperation between associate and owner membership may be a good one. Of course I'm just a talking as a private owner here and not as the chairman. Phill Brander is handling the membership project now and I won't interfere with his proceedings.
Between you and me guys, I can't wait to unpack Jaaps new boat. Blade F16. And at my club I'm are not the only one. Could be the start of something
