AMEN Mary, The last really big regatta I remember was the Hobie Mega a few years back. I didn't make it but if they ever held one again..........

Personally I think the Formula classes are here to stay. I like the idea of the F-18s going on a diet over 10 years. There seems to be a lot of intrest in the F-16 due to the lightness and the fact that you can both single & double hand the boat.
