and let's face it. The foilers will likely BE the a-cat class, eventually. I do argue it will be much slower than how the Moth transitioned because a small single handed dinghy has a ton of similar boats where-as a 165lb single handed catamaran really doesn't have any competing boats of similar design.

With that being the case, we're really just talking about what to call the boats that aren't full-on foiling today so they can be broken out in the scores to keep things interesting for those of us that own those kinds of boats. We don't really need two designations. It's just a subset designation for scoring at larger a-cat events.
