Hey Wouter,
I do not have a problem (if the foils do prove superiour)with the A Class adopting them, or if they decide to outlaw them. The descision will be made by the class and it's sailors...... The guys that matter.
I do have a problem with you unsustained statements about the A Class and it's sailors such as....
everytime something REALLY interesting is being tried we see the class for what it really is. Scared shitless of any REAL development.
I'm not angry at the A-class, but rather at a sizeable portion of its sailors who at some instances celebrate the open, cool, development nature of the A-class, but when a new thing is tried become hysterical and almost immediately start throwing about "obsolete old design" and "kill off the class if not banned" kind of statements.
That is why I have so little patience with scared sailors in the A-class. If ever they get the upper hand and lock the A into a given setup by adding more rules and banning real development then they will have struck the biggest blow to the A-class in its 40 year existance.
Notice how I had little to say on this subject until you started smack talking the A Class.
How about you wander off to the next A class event and spew this BS.
Don't forget your foundation to cover up those black eyes.
By the way, I have never stated that the foils will be quicker or should be outlawed. What I have said is that the class will do what is right for it's sailors first and formost.
I will also say again, you no sweet FA about what would be healthy for the class. The A class has been around for a long time and built itself up into one of the most successful and cometitive catamaran classes in the world.
I have every confidence the class will take the correct path on this issue and you can just STFU because your opinion does not matter.
