Here in Area "C" the Hobie sailors on "SLOW" H16's and H14's have won the event beating alot of "FASTER" boats a majority of the time in recent years.
Too many people think that the faster modern cat designs sail themselves.
In the past I have refered to a little thing we tend to do at my club when slow boat sailors mouthing off about fast boats.
We take them along on a ride in a club race on one of these unfair racing machines. Before the first race it over they are out of breath, out of depth and practically begging to be dropped off at the beach.
It is forgotten too often how crews on modern cats tend to typically practice more and work harder at getting all the go fast stuff right. Racing a modern spi boat 1-up is even more tiring/challenging.
