Here's my prediction:
I bet that there will be 99 A cat sailors refusing to race against Ben and his new wing in November in Florida. The class will hold an emergency meeting and outlaw solid wing sails by the end of the first day. Deja vu on the foiler rule anyone?
Personally I applaud him for trying, and I would vote against any new rules to the Acat class rule set.
The coolest things happening in sailing are foiling Moths, CClass wings and Ben's project. Too bad he wont get to race it.

But...if he's going to go through all the time and money to develop it, knowing the A class will most likely outlaw it, why not also put it on foils?? Or at least have a set of Moth foils standing by to try out, or has that been done already? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
He could start a new class, call it: Mini C. Only 10% evil... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
Still, the cost alone will keep it from cathing on very fast, if at all.
