All of this is good discussion, but what is best is that the kids are getting into the Vipers and sailing them. John is correct that they are the future and we have plenty to look forward to. The change was for this purpose as we were having trouble getting the youth to sail the Scots that have served the GYA well for the past 50 years just as the Fish did.. Hopefully we are moving forward and continuing the youth in these efforts. The FS Class is still strong and hopefully continues to serve the competitors using them. They are a great class and we should encourage them as well. Thanks to all those participating on that selection process which has likewise enabled ladies to stay involved and and included as 4 sailors are on board plenty times. Corky
