I am with you! Crash it. Prove that beach cats are not toys. I tried to get some beach cat racing in the Seattle area. The response was a big fat NO! The reason: the boat is not self-righting. (but they let 49'ers race?!)

So, during the next J-24 nat's in Seattle, a front came thru and about 2 or 3 J boats are at the bottom of the sound. No one was hurt, that is good. What is funny is that I suggested that J-boats not be allowed to race, for the same reason as beach cats...

You guys can guess the response
