20' beam? Why when 10' would be suited fine.

I never figured out why they didn't allow T's on the t500. Again, don't mind, not like I could compete with those people anyways. If you people think its silly, thats fine, you're not the ones buying the thing.
The guy I'm buying it from says that the local club he sails it in lets him use a the basic tornado rating. I wouldn't really care what its rated considering I sail for the thrill of it and not for a pickle dish at the end of the day.
