At that time, (1988) I was a monohull racer, never considered cats because the only cats I had seen up close were Hobie 16's, being sailed...poorly. But when I saw what Connor was able to do to that mega-mono, with a cat half the size with less than half the crew, well, that's when I really started to consider cats might be a better way to sail.

Maybe this DoG cup will change some other mono-minds to consider cats?
