I haven't been paying attention to all the "new rules" here, since things seem to change every month, but have they come up with a "minimum weight" rule? Do the two boats weigh nearly the same?
I think it would be hard to build a 90' tri (because of the 3rd hull) that weighs the same as a 90' cat, but who knows, maybe they did it?
Now, more speculation, if YOU could choose the driver, who would it be?
I choose Ashby for the cat and Smyth for the tri!
