I am a cat sailor but of coarse the Americas Cup cat was a cheat. Like arriving in your F18 to race a 470 when the guy asked you for a match race.
KZ1 was the fastest sloop to ever go round an Americas cup course.....a grand vision....and Conners turned up like a petulant brat who did not want to be whacked by better saliors, tech and vision than he and the NY Republicans club fossils could muster.
He called one of the very best designers of our time 'a loser" and "full of [censored]' on live TV and generally dragged sailing to a lower place than it had ever been.
Final outcome for cat sailors in general.....they are cheats....thanks Dennis.
I wholeheartedly agree that Conner's team acted very childishly and said a lot of stupid things - but that cat was just as much within the rules as NZ's attempt to ambush the cup by trying to keep the US from having time to develop a similar boat.
