Maugan, you have convinced me. You really don't have to keep giving all these excuses for not racing. The majority of catamaran sailors do not race and have no interest in racing. There's nothing wrong with being in the majority. I, for one, am never going to mention racing to you again. The fact that you love sailing and sailboats is the important thing. And it does not matter to the people on this forum whether you are a racer or a cruiser. We're just glad to have enthusiastic young people like you around, and we are glad to have your input and perspectives.
