Wouter has an interesting view of what One Design racing is.

>>-5- The OD cats are just a pain in the neck to sail. Cluncky systems, low quality builds, slow and bloody expensive for what you get. I rather go fast and enjoy myself that way then go slow and know that everybody is garanteed to sail equally slow.<<

This "logic?" would follow that any boat older than... what?...Designed and built today? is now outdated and a pain to sail? Slow? Bad Quality?... come now. They are all fun and fast to sail.

>>-6- OD class sailors are often strikingly ignorant.<<

Awfully broad/mean statement... you including Gavin Colby, Bob Merrick, Mitch Booth and so many more in that?

Wouter, you hurt your case when you make such comments.
