More on TV today at 4 or so E T -12;30 P T
Was anyone else frustrated watching the tactics on race 3 --O should have crossed on starboard as most of us would then pinned E-on port past the layline unable to tack in front --they then would have kept their lead into the 3rd mark,
It seems the tactician hasn't spent much time on a high speed cat or raced much in them --they are stategical not tactical boats to race These guys should have spent some time racing cats in good competative fleets,
And yes --Hi Jake and all--it would great to get a good look at the fasinating design variations between boats, The next generation of designs might focus more on the foiling aspect evan upwind where they are "just skimming" the furface but need the foil underwater to track to windward,--Hull shape in particular could be radiacally rethought --more of a planning skimming type hull -that would also help prevent the nose dive they currently experience when falling off the foils gybing ,--just a thought, --The foil shape and board configuration might also be improved,--though I,m not fully aware of A C design rules,
have fun---Mike--wish I wasa in S F to see it --please give us some insights there,
