how much faster (on a handicap system) is it than the windrush and how much slower than a blade or a TheMightyHobie18?
Sorry, I haven'y been watching this or any other forum lately so I've missed these last posts. Thanks for the 'pat on the back' ric, it is appreciated.
The 430, sailed sloop is about 10 minutes in a 100 faster than a foam super sloop Windy and about 15 minutes F14 rigged with me [a 66 y/old] at the helm weighing 85kgs. Probably a bit faster with an athletic gun sailer pulling the strings.
Wouter, there's only one thing stopping the advancement of F14 and thats the complete apathy, even resentment of the class by people like yourself who, though having considerable world wide influence, have insufficient vision for the future of otb catamaran racing to get behind a class which has the potential to bring new YOUNG blood into the sport. It's as simple as that! Your question; "Why would anyone get behind the concept" speeks volumes.
