We've seen in the past that these guys are just plain better *sailors* than what we can produce in the multihull world. When you're a good sailor, it doesn't matter what world you're coming from. I bet these guys could hop on an F18 and hand 95% of us our butts around a race course.
This is a fact. I've raced against a few of these converts and watched a bunch more race. All they are doing is shifting gears not learning a whole new sport.For example Nathan Outteridge came to the A cat worlds w/ limited experience and did extremely well against the worlds best ( Ashby wasn't present). Broken boards put him in 16th otherwise he was top 5. These guys know how to connect the dots.
