Hi Magee,
I'm only stating facts,not rhetoric. If you don't like them, I'm sorry. I wrote the comments that you don't like in the style I did for emphasis. I think boat safety is NUMBER 1 in order of importance. That is why the SC/ARC boats are the shape they are, elliptical hull cross section shape. That is why all SC/ARC boats come with a righting system from the factory. As soon as you leave the shore on a beach cat and the water is over your head, you are "at risk" and your beach cat put you there. Your beach cat better be able to take you out of an "at risk" situation, like a turn over.
SAFETY, SAFETY, SAFETY is NUMBER 1 in order of importance in any boat design.
And by the way, Magee, some day all beach cats with spinnakers will have the daggerboards close behind the main beam or maybe just in front of the main beam. It is just going to take a while for them to get there.
Some day all beach cats will have self tacking jibs. It is just going to take a while for them to get there.
Some day all beach cats will come from the factory with righting systems. It is just going to take a while for them to get there.
Good Sailing,
Bill
