Actually I dont think Mini asked about markets at all, but what "we" on catsailor thought the boat should be like. What makes something sell? Marketing is what make sales. I agree fully that the F18 class today is dominating the beachcat market. I also believe that there is room for a 20 footer formula class besides the former olympic piece of athletic equipment.

What does the N20 not do? Since it never catched on big time something is lacking. Probably nothing technical but more positioning and marketing I would say. Remember that my viewpoint is not within the east coast of the US. If I lived on one of the coasts of the US the N20 would be a very good alternative.

Now, if there was somebody asking you about what you wanted in a 20 foot beachcat, why not tell him what you want in addition to the "doom and gloom" of any new class in the beachcat market
