But seriously C boards are a real step forward for cats.. My experience is that it makes a boat much easier to sail and lighter feeling especially at the limit.
Do these boards make the optimal performance window more or less narrow than straight boards? I think the answer to this question may dictate how well it does in the recreational marketplace.
FYI I consider "recreational marketplace" those of us who like performance sailing but don't have any realistic expectation of getting to the pro level...
