What does "a cat sailor" even mean? Ben is a 4 time Olympic Gold Medalist, match race world champion, and has been training non-stop as the skipper of the Oracle B boat for months. At the level these guys are sailing the transition to another type of boat isn't a huge problem- just look at Ben's performance in the ACWS.

Personally, I think crew work and losing DDR was the biggest setback to Oracle, and place much less blame on JK.

I really wish labels in sailing would just go away!
