Thanks for the shout-out Bailey.
I thought the old boats were called the intergalactic fleet?
"Intergalactic" started when the ISAF started giving people fits over using the word "World" in the event name. They threatened to ban sailors that participated in any sailing event with "World" in the title that wasn't an official ISAF event. Hence, some events started calling themselves the Intergalactic Championship instead. I think the Hobie Waves did this a few times.
I suspect in this case, that the A-cat "Intergalactic" event is another phrase we owe to that humorous Swedish John fellow
