Hi Tim,
was wondering when they would pop up

.
I guess no big surprise, as winds where generaly under 15 knots I think

and I think it is fair to say that cat rigs clearly have the upper hand in 8-12 knots?

I think one of the interesting points is that there where 4 Sloops in the first 10, with 23 Cats and 11 Sloop rigs this would seem to go against the theory that bigger fleets result in a higher standard of sailing, as I would have expected less than 4 in the first 10 based on percentage of the fleet and conditions that suited Cat rigs.

Mind you I could be mischevious and say that I know 2 of the 4 Sloops have honed there skills in the Cat rigs

, Mick and Neil have both been runners up in Cat rig Nats and Cat rig State champions
