there are some pics about of a weta being sailed solo on main only in the channel island, california
big wind stuff
i don't think an A cat would survive that wind without being damaged
A cats were never designed for such, which is fair enough
just saying compare apples to apples
would you put an a-cat into the double damned?
When the north-easterly increased to 15-18 knots for the second race .............. Breakages have been a regular problem for the sailors, especially those like Outteridge, Spithill and Slingsby who took delivery of their boats only a few days before the regatta started. So far forestays, rudders and daggerboards are the most commonly damaged items, along with two masts that fell in yesterday's practice race.
