Luiz, risk is far away from being my goal when I sail. Speed is just part of it, not the whole thing. The skills that are needed and how to develop them are quite more interesting. Intellingent is to do what you enjoy, if I would like speed I would go to a motor boat, if I would like risk I would do bungee jumps. Diversity is good too, I do like cats, just got one, but I'm not quiting monohulls and I'm not interested on theaching my kids to prefer one oe the other, I will be happy if they prefer motorboats or snowboards.
Hey, I think a kid cat is a great idea, not just because it might be faster, I was just trying to comment that it should be a good one, Optimists are good boats, not easy improve them.
