Take that idea further - lose all the controls for jib (self tacker, track, blocks, sheet, halyard, cleats, etc.) and the spin (again, blocks, sheet, halyard, extra hound, bail, pole, snuffer, tack, cleat). But, add a whole lot more carbon and new fabrication equipment, maybe new staff who work with carbon so you don't have to pay for the glass guy's learning curve... don't they set up in some sort of big oven?
Like the drug companies always say - the SECOND pill they make costs $3... the FIRST one costs $3,000,000.
Who can throw the first rock? I can't - the A Class looks good, but it'll be a used boat for me.
It'd make a cool Alter Cup boat, though, eh?
