Interesting to us cat sailors from a technical point of view
But... what we really want is to see is a high speed, gear changing, position changing race!
The public can't really see the speed on the TV set. .. So what if they do 20 miles in an hour....
I hope that these big cats are nimble...(but don't have much hope)... I think they will be strait line speed demons.
Tack's and Gibes will be rare! Boat to Boat dueling could be very very rare... especially if one has a speed advantage.
I think the ICCC showed the potential of a match race with cats and had a decent amount of lead changes.
The VX 40's looked awesome and very nimble in the in port racing in Baltimore.
I think something on these lines would be best for our sport.
The DoG match rules provide legs that stretch miles (13 to 20 miles) - speed will rule and I doubt seriously that this will be a match that trades position often.
