I can follow that logic Dermott and thats fair enough for Ireland but NZ as a nation was settled by people arriving on catamarans and has heaps of people sailing cats. America has heaps of people sailing cats with some of the biggest manufacturers of cats in the world and have won numerous medals, I also noticed the American Tornado team came 8th despite a DNF that would have been a huge relief to the American Sailing organisations. Imagine if they had won!
