This is Mischa's first A cat regatta ,I believe. Ben Hall, Matt, and Lars are on the untested EVO2. All 3 would be doing way better on their own platforms(Barracuda,evo ht and a3 respectively.Matt has been getting in alot of A seat time, by US standards, but I don't think any Americans are getting in the top quality racing time that the Aussies have. Interview here with Benson, Brewin and Ben Moon.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
