with the lower turnout at the wave nationals, would ya consider inviting the h14s....give them a 2nd start....ok, do not flame me, Im just asking....................t
well, let me restate this....and ive done the wave nationals a couple of times.....Id like some comments--both pros and cons......I sold my wave last year and got a deal on a 14...I love to go to the keys in the fall/winter...and yea, I might be able to russle up a wave, but thought ya might get a little more participation by inviting the h14s.....maybe try it and see.......comments????!!!!!
By doing so, it would lead to folks not trying to find a Wave and bring whatever. We do have the NAMSA Tradewinds Midwinter Open Cat Nationals in Jan 16-18 where we almost never even get more than one H14.
By the way, we have maintained a very good number of attendants over the past 5 years, with an average of over 40.

appreciate your comments......just thinking about keeping the numbers up for your event...Ive always had a blast down there...and I will probably be there.....huntin for a wave............the trade winds event prob keeps the little boats away.........................tr
Appreciate it. Funny, but I see there were only 7 H14s at the Nationals in Delaware, and yet at Lake Eustis I believe there were 9 or 10 boats last year. Seems that most of the 14s are in Tampa and New England these days.
Hope I see your smiling face on a Wave. Should be fun as usual.

yes Rick, there was only 7 boats at the nationals!( a sad turnout)..but, do you realize that there were actually 25 boats registered originally!!! Unfortunatly 13 of the boats did not have a compt tip, and were turned away----hummmmmmmmm sounds similar to the wave class......Im just wondering....what would 13 to 25 extra entrants do for a regattas budget/ profit margin?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
