Sorry, I couldn't resist the humor. I was thinking about a relative novice who was offered a ride on a Auscat, all he had to do was rig it. I laughed so hard, I finally had to sit down.

I was thinking about adding the Auscat to an article I wrote once, called "Do you know your sail hooks at the top? You would not believe the number old cats I have seen where the new owners tried to hold the sail up by tying the halyard. I really liked the guy who removed the hook because he couldn't figure out what it was for, then after the cleat ripped off the mast decided the halyard doubled as the backstay

There is humor in all boats.

The Wave.. "I don't use a halyard, I just stand on my tip-toes to hook and unhook the sail

The Tornado:
"When I broke my halyard, other sailors stopped by to gave me condolences. I didn't understand. When I priced a replacement I understood immediately, 65 ft at $1.35/ft"


I guess I will have to start marking things as humor
