Funny you should say that...

In the May edition of Australian Sailing magazine, the editor has a page up near the front, which is titled FROM THE HELM. This is talking about the larger cat variety though.

The opening line on this particular subject is, 'On the subject of multihulls, can they please stop flipping over during the Brisbane to Gladstone race?'

Then theres a couple of paragraphs detailing the capsizes. It finishes with the following.

'You have to wonder how long the authorities will refrain from slapping more regulations on the general boating community if the capsizes continue from year to year, or what might happen whena really rough Easter comes along'.

Now it might be just me, but i read the 'general boating community' as monohullers.
