... And if he doesn't, he'll take his sailboats and go play elsewhere. Hawaii and San Diego are two top alternatives. "[/i]
San Diego is known to the world kite boarding community, as one of the Lightest wind places in the world. IF these fast Cat's were to race there, then the low wind side of that technology would get further developed. It's something that i personally would be very Happy about.Anyone can go fast when the wind is Blowing hard, try it when there's only 10-12Kts of wind available, (the Norm in SD) !!
I lived and did Hang gliding in SD for 20 years, the place is not so good for steady-strong wind. After Kiting at Mohave for 10 years, i couldn't even GO kite boarding in San Diego because the aria on my equipment was too small and i didn't have correct technique for light wind kiting even if i had borrowed the correct size kite for the wind.
SO -- SD would open up the, "Wind-Range" for these foiling cats.
