What are the ages, and years sailing cats for each of these competitors? I don't know how old JC is, but Trey Brown is young enough, as are many in the Tybee fleet, to be my son. The A Catters seem to be dominated by guys from my generation, or older.
Very true!
A few years back, during the Harken races many of the A-skippers were .... very... "experienced"
It was wild to watch a few 70+ guys lift their mast off the beam solo.... i had never been up close to an A-cat before then and had to manually reel my jaw back on my face.
I asked if i could feel the mast and he said... "it will cost you 20grand, cause after you feel it.. you will want to buy one"
i feel i would break that cat in 1/2 within a week...
I have sailed an A cat since and it was neat to be on such a light, responsive cat
