I believe its all been pointed out before(for those that choose to listen).Simple,affordable,fun to sail.....These same qualities apply to most of the boats in the top ten list.Maybe just maybe this is the recipe for success,but no this would be too simple an answer.I am sure we will hear from the regulars on this forum who will shoot this theory down,disputing this is far to simple an explanation.That all these boats are dated and too old....
I sometimes wonder if the Laser and Sunfish guys have a forum where they bash each other as much as this forum bashes each other,s cat design
I beleive the response to the survey should be.CONGRADULATIONS TO ALL THE TOP CLASSES,SAILORS AND VOLUNTEERS.
