There is a Florida senior sailor of A-cats notorious for never changing anything on the boat- runs it like it came from the factory...And has about 20 National Championships, mostly Hobies but no bugs on him about that.
I have been trying to figure out the tuning deal as Matt describes it on these pages---for 8 years now. As a trained scientist, I would have hoped to be better at figuring out the A-cat bits, (i.e: diamond wire downhaul management) but still do the same dumb things that are apparently now habitual. DOH! Rage Against The Stupidity! Tho maybe more Zen would help.....
