not related to the fires but i just want to say how good it is to have people in the catamaran business on this forum

so please stick it out Matt and others

all too often recreational users, esp. on forums like this, seem to gang up on "company people" and make their online life hell so they simply give up and stop contributing and we all lose invaluable info on the future of our sport when that happens

this comes to mind as while i was researching the mysterious supercats the google links often led back to this forum and posts by the designer!

who seems to have stopped posting in 2004 after a particularly pointless series of attacks by people who took their passion a little too far:-(
