Hi Darrell,
I am not implying that anyone is dumb and certainly not David. He is a sharp guy. I guess I should have sent him a private e mail note. I only wanted to encourage him to search the US Sailing PN tables for the lowest number.
The international A, B, C and D class catamaran classes are not popular in the US. Many sailors have never heard of them.
When I returned from the Texel race in 1980 I told all my H14 and P15 sailing friends about how fast the A class cats were. They didn't want to hear about it. "Nothing could be faster than my H14 or P15", they would say. It has only been in the last 5 years or so that the A class cats have a caught on in the US. C and D cat racing in Florida is unheard of. Back in the 1960s there was some C and D class activity at the Miami YC but those guys are gone now and so are their boats.
