I hope you know nobody is serious when giving you guys "guff" about being stuck up and a bit snoby. Most of the A sailors came from another cat anyway, and most sail in other classes on a regular basis.
The guff is just for fun, and maybe the jealousy coming out! I'd have one if I could convince the wife I need two (or should I say 4) cats!
And I think some of the jealousy is because your rules allow some real development, and we like to see what you guys have come up with.
Great publicity being on S/A and I hope the wind is good for the regatta.
