    I will be heading of the the raffle organization this this year, and will be in touch. Thanks for reaching out first. Shows how much you care and give to this hobby.

    I'll likely find a way to use brass. Maybe a hammock of sort.
    Hammocks.....hmmm
    Thinking differently than you here......Sailboats !
    We could all bring hammocks to the driver's stand and
    I would assume that we all have to run the full six laps.....lol

    Face it sometime in the future we will all be running sailboats.....lmao

    any hull, are hydra foils legal ?
    And does it have to resemble an actually
    race sail boat like similar to the sport hydra rules ?

    We can mount NEU motors with air props on the deck, just in case there is no wind.

    A 36" sail boat class with a maximum sail area of 1.75 square feet would be eligible for "National Championship" if approved by the BOD.

    Happy New Year fellas!!

    Totally misunderstood the question Ray. Not sure about the rules and titles and such. The BOD did approve the list and the classes were proposed despite the concept being absolutely hated by some.

    I get it. "National Champion" of nonexistent classes does smack weird don't it? I'll have to look into that.

    you mean P-limited? This past year we've run a variety of motors and we've found that there isn't a motor that out performs all the others. One of the best motors was the Dynamite 1500. Your "spec" boats (as you call them) are fast enough to compete/beat most boats in the spec classes. I wouldn't worry about the spec motor rules just

    Come to Michigan and have fun at the 2018 IMPBA FE Nats

    Nope. The class will just be called "Spec" even if the class doesn't get voted into the rule book this winter.
