Someday people will figure out how to promote their own class without putting down others. I sail an F-18 and am not an expert nor do I have big money. I must have missed a memo that told me I should not be sailing in that class.
No one put the F18s down. The F18 class is the by far the best Cat class that has come along and should have a long and viable life. It is dynamic enough to keep the cutting edge folks interested.
However, F18s are not an everyday boat for the rank and file casual, kid, old fart, lazy, laid back, whatever....sailor.
The interesting thing is that Waves are damn fun to race. I would never have guessed such until Rick got us to Put-In-Bay last Summer.
