A while back Allen Chauvenet sent me his master list of who had what
boats. There was an equal split of wood/fiberglass 102/101. Usually
at the Nationals the only wood boats that compete are some of the
newer composite built ones.
How about a sub-division for Classic Wooden Windmills. Everyone races
together for the big prize, but traditional built wood boats with
wooden spars would also race for the Classic Championship with
seperate scoring. Could even could have the tie breaker going to the
older hull #. I'm sure this could bring some boats to race that are
normaly just used for day sailing.
