I regret that clubs, sailors are waiting for an administration to take the decision to teach, make children learn and practice fun boats.

I regret that we have to wait on a "Something" to start improvements. I agree that HC16 was a great boat but if we wait until an other boat gets as many boats produced as the HC16... we better stop production today.

Hopefully, many manufactures still have idea, project and plan to propose us. I've never been part of a club, regatta fan until I had to eat by selling cats...

Regatta is great, but sailing is even better. Like in Skiing, before Freeriders made movies and proved that ski could be fun... no one would have bet on Skiing for fun as a profession. Today few of the Freeriders can eat of their passion.

What I would like to say is, we need to push clubs is teaching fun, pleasure and then see on individual cases the one that could become "Champions". Spi are so great that any series should allow a "With and Without" in two different class... then the natural choice will be done automatically by the sailors, without "Admin" choice.
