I heard he was doing an extended circumnavigation with his family. That seems like it would fit he and his family perfectly.Cool stuff.
I wouldn't sweat the F-20c "taking over " yet as there is all of one( plus a platform w/ no mast) in the states racing. If I had the Jack( Not Young, cash), there would be two racing.
Slight correction - There's one F20C racing plus one F20C with TWO masts. It just happens that neither of the mast pieces is long enough for the sails supplied.
The broken mast will be repaired, and used until the replacement arrives, which should be well before the Northern California racing season starts in earnest. At which point there will be two F20Cs actively racing in the US.
