I thought the same, but thought twice about posting it as I assumed no one would agree with me.

You couldn't have said something MORE APPEALING for asymmetric racing if you'd tried.  



WANT to race other boats , REJECT racing a stopwatch

ENJOY sailing assymetrics, DISLIKE racing assymetrics (currently)

LOVE diversity, HATE spreadsheets

I bought a Musto, I race/ sail every weekend against Muso's

I love sailing assymetrics - well fast ones

well then you are lucky.   I count my blessings to have class racing at all, but to have it in Mustos (where you learn so much more, and so much more quickly, by sailing with other Mustos) I can quite see why you would choose it as a way to spend time on the water.

Burghfield has had an Asymmetric Series for 6 or 7 years every Sunday. Seems to work well. If the wind is suitable, we get windward / leeward. If the wind is across the lake, we go around the cans with the rest of the club: the changes bring out different skills and abilities across the classes.
Racing is mainly LDC boats: Vareo, 2000, 200, 400, 500, Vision. Typically 10-12 boats each week; sometimes up to 20, when every class is at home.

I was thinking more of one off annual events. Weekend regatta sort of thing?
