Bill, Wouter, Bob and All,

What a great time for innovation in singlehanded racing cats!

Reading this line of 'sailing minds' is very valuable,...especially the last post by Bill about the 'bow volume under spinnaker load' design.

...it was a good read!

..here is an idea,...make a 'Uni-rig open' portion of a large regatta,...allow the participants to sail other manufactures' design(, for example, Fx-1, T 4.9, N5.5, I-17, SC17, A-cat..etc)...kinda like a round robin, except on different boats,...the 'winner' would be a composite of 'all' types sailed.......since all these designs have their differences, sailpersonship would be the test..


....is that an idea,..or a dream...?

..congrats to your new 17 Bill,....where can we demo this???


regards,
