I am not sure it is a pervasive problem but has everyone seen how much the mono skippers yell at each other on the course? They swear up a storm at the other guys and it ain't anything lighthearted either. After the other skipper is gone the conversation continues on how much of a jackass the other guy is etc etc. I haven't been racing very long but haven't seen that too much on the multihull end. But then again there was a **** yelling at me at Pontchartrain. I'll let that slide.
Maybe I am wrong and that really happens in the multihull world but I haven't seen too much of it. The level of animosity between mono skippers can be fairly stupid. In the end I am not sure why some of them still race when it is so clear they seem to all hate each other.
