Post subject: | Which boat for Div 3- 18,20,f18? |
Hi all, I have not been around for a while,(I think 88 was the last time I activly raced, does that count as a while?) and am thinking about getting out on the water again. What are the boat counts like in the 18,20, and f18 classes at the Div 3 points regattas? I imagine 16's are still the biggest class, but I am not really built to sail a 16 |

20s are the most populated 18s are the most laid back and f18s are the fastest The 18s race for the red solo cup...! Where are you sailing? |

You could be a sport, and get a Wave and start the Wave class out west on the right foot. |

Boat counts may be found here, but you'll need to do some manual counting: http://www.hcana.hobieclass.com/default ... 0814/9277/ |

estimated count 18 H-20's 16 H-16's 7 H-18's F-18 class is active at most Yacht club events and all but 2 of the Hobie only events. (Woodward and Bodega Bay get very few F-18's) There are 5 Tigers 2 Wilcats 2 Infusions 2 Capricorns 1 Falcon plus 5 more at Artemis Racing and 2 or three at Oracle racing (very seldom on the bay). |

Thanks for all the info. I will have to try to get to a race or two this year just to check it out. The 18 is tempting because I raced it before so it would be easy to jump into but I will admit the 20's and F18's look like more fun to race. I will be racing out of Visalia, which is in the Fresno area. No funds for this season, but that will change next year. Also, my son will be a Jr in High School next year, so if we are going to sail, we need to get going. |
