Personally, I don't want to be part of a "proffesional racing class" ala Tornados or even A cats and some of the F18 Pro's. It gets much too expensive as everyone chases the illusive -ultimate boat-, ultimate sails, minimum wt, carbon everyting, etc.

I would prefer it remain an amature class, with people who race for fun, not for career advancement or, God forbid, Money! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
