Here's a blurb from a posting on NOYC.org where Strategery was referred to as a Catamoron. It's an interesting thread from an obviously idiotic source. What is interesting is that no one chimed in to tell him to shut up (which will normally happen).
Here's an excerpt from "JC"
" Catamorons do not belong in phrf regattas. They should only be raced against each other and only in Florida and only out of my sight. Listen, if you hippie catamoron freaks with your long hair, flip flops and flowery shirts want to race, that's fine but I don't want to know about it or hear about it. "
and then we were Trimorons (I had to correct him of course) with this gem...
I sailed the Leukemia Cup Regatta hosted jointly by Southern Yacht Club and New Orleans Yacht Club on my Sprint 750 last month. We blew out our jib right before the start of the first race on Saturday unfortunately and missed the entire day. We got a replacement jib for Sunday and in that race (which had 12-18 knots of wind), the Corsairs had 3 out of the top five fastest corrected times (PHRF) and 4 out of the top five fastest elapsed times with only a customized Farr 36 getting in that group. "JC" did not have anything to say about it and I generally got favorable comments about the boats from others there.
Good advice - Let the ignorant monohull sailors make fun, insult, and call us names. Just wave and smile to them as you go past them upwind at the same angle but a lot faster.
Some just cannot accept what their eyes show them.
