I salute and thank those responsible for resurrecting this event. Let's face it -- It was DEAD. I always did enjoy the C Class catamarans, but the event always seemed like a design competition event more so, than an actual sailing event. Who could design the fastest boat, and would it stay together? I would like to see it continue, but under a different format. The new format is a great. How many beach cat sailors know anything about match racing? It's not how fast you go, but you just have to finish before that other boat. Just getting this event back on track is a victory for us all. I hope the critics hold their negative opinions for a while and give it a chance to grow.
