Holy cause-and-effect, Batman...
Um, yeah.. NO!
F18s and A-Cat popularity did not get here overnight, just because of the AC. Not to even mention H16.
Having the AC on cats can't hurt, but in and of itself, certainly won't increase attendance at our NAs any time soon, and certainly couldn't have made an impact in time for THIS year's NAs.
Said another way, if the AC goes back to monohulls, I wouldn't expect much change that would be CAUSED by that decision.
EDIT: BTW, how much did they edit John Casey's article, or is he just speaking a new language?
"we immediately went twin wire" that would be double-trapped...
"grabbed cunningham" that would be cranked in the downhaul...
And when was the last time anyone was "helming" a beach cat?

Casey had been hanging out a bunch in Europe...lord knows what they call stuff over there but I can hear "twin wire" pretty easily in a Norwegian accent.
I don't see it as a dawn of a new era - just slow and consistent evolution.
