Awesome another new boat to buy, I will just run out, get the money and buy one. I am sure other parents will do the same, NOT! Same old, same old, another new boat, another new year, another reason to keep the kids in soccer.

Sorry I am just so tired of seeing another new boat split the already small fleets. Seems we just can’t learn from the monohullers and stick with the tried and tested, etc. I can bet you in just a couple of years the SL16 will be just another boat of the past, and then there will be a SL16.5, or a F16 youth boat or something, or hay what about an F12, F13, F14, what about a freaking youth trimaran, or what about a kite cat, why even stop here, skies the limit or is it?

Then again maybe the ISAF will just drop the youth multihull all together, which is likely, and then what? Who knows about the Olympics when it relates to the Tornado? US Sailing is surely not behind the multihulls, no surpise there. I have already moved on to ASA and continuing with NAHCA.

My plan is to stick with the H16, Wave (see you at the next Nationals Rick), and NAHCA, and have fun with my kids, and bag the rest.
