Out of curiousity....is the rate of participation in
racing any higher in Europe then elsewhere?(I only
can look at the US and Canada, where it is less then
5%). Without getting into a flame war about racing,
do the manufacturers dream up new classes in order
to push product? In strong conditions would not a
15 meter ship compete quite well with its longer winged
brothers? I know, racing only occurs in weak conditions

There was some rumours of an 18m version and a 22m
Open Class version - any news on these?
The 15m racing class will probably be a dead duck
in 5 years time. (at least in Europe)
