I don't know this publication, but it has done a disservice to catamaran sailing and sailors. The editor has a responsibility to get this one right. I suspect that the guys on the I-20 were far more competent than the farmer on his way to a Singles on Sailboats gathering. His help was warrented, but his comments were ignorant, as was pointed out. Kieth, if you know the full story, and it sounds like you do, a call and/or a letter to the reporter and his editor is a good idea.
