but why limit it to cats? Don't we want to encourage converts?

Invite the optis, sunfish, Flying bathtubs-oops- Flying Scotts, Laser radials, etc. Let them see for themselves what multis have to offer


That might come later if the first CATAPALOOZA is successful.

The whole theme from the start is about how to get current cat owners out on the race course. We are racers and want more boats on the starting line.

Converting half boaters to multihullers is really on a different page, although certainly a worthy endeavor.

This is as much about breaking down the perceived gap between racers and casual sailors as anything, in my opinion. We just happen to be cat people. If we try to reach out too far this first time, the logistics will be significantly multiplied.

It needs to be rather focused and simple, I think.
