The whole point of the "C" class being the class for "the little America's cup" seems to have been missed completely! The "little Americans cup" is a challenge more for exploring the cutting edge, the outer limits, the "what is impossible then making it possible" of catamaran sailing. It is a challenge of innovation, invention, and exploration, bounded only by the minimum of requirements of length, beam, and sail area, all the rest is only bounded by the imagination, skill, available technical knowledge, and finances. Its more like the boundary's of "Star Treck" than of competitive "class" racing - "To boldly go where no man has gone before".
To bring it down to the level of "ordinary" "class" racing between sailors on relatively "equal" catamarans demeans the whole concept of the, so called "Little America's Cup"
