One problem I see is that if you design a racing Tri in the 20-24' arena you are still going to have to hike on it. Just thinking that one would sit in the **** and steer is, well it ain't going to happen. Also having recently sailed on a Nacra 6.0 and comparing it to my F31R, I would neever go to a smaller tri than a 24'. The Corsair F24 is a nice boat, but still to heavy for pure racing, and the fear of capsizing a tri is much greater than capsizing a 20' cat. My question is why would anyone consider paying 10K more for a 20' tri when they can get a new 20' Cat for that much less. I know that if I didn't have a family I would be on a Cat in a heartbeat!

Someday I will have one, when is the question?
