I think some of the leaner sailors are finally starting to wake up and smell the...apparent wind...which only a fast multihull can generate. As the economy stays in the toilet, I think money is becoming more of an issue as well, some of those 2 up mono's dinghys cost more than a new F18 and only go 1/3 as fast.

When it comes to speed, cats provide more bang for the buck, and now that there are more cat fleets around the country, perhaps the mono boys are starting to look around at other, faster, options. I think all the good press SA is giving to cats certainly helps, since that's where the mono racers seem to hang out.
