What I like about Footys: They’re cute, fun to build and sail, and reasonably cheap. I like the freedom of an open class. Lots of designs and radically different looking boats. It’s going to fun finding out if any are faster than others.
What I don’t like about other classes: too big, expensive, and dominated by geriatrics. I’d like to see a class of racing sailboats with more kids than retired adults sailing. The rules of sailing don’t excite me either. What’s wrong with trading a little paint in the corners? It’s not like Footys are going to sink each other. Port/starboard? Who cares? Get out of my way.
There ya go. I didn’t count the words. If it’s over 25, delete the articles.
