Good incentive to keep the P-class Money,...I..,i mean members to attend most all races.

Good move .keeps up boat count .opa ,s interest has always been to promote p-class.

keep it up

So the best 7 finishes of all ten races? For all classes?

Does the manufacturer have to still be in business?

 

[Ratickle]

I think I'll have to dig into the rules.

LOL there goes most of the fleet

 

[Ratickle]

Too funny......

 

[john acosta]

Yea but it also says something for the quality of those builders.
The hulls are still here running races after decades.
not to mention most all in big water

 

[Ratickle]

Big difference between those and some of the ones who build disposable potato chips now.

For sure .

When oss reared its ugly head ,the sport went to more inland venues ,( small water )
Real boats were too heavy due to proper construction.

I leke fountains etc. but after being in them ,and being in a phantom 38 or a formula etc.it was obvious the safer choice was the better built hull.
