I get nuts about a week before I go through a boat. When I sold my first H-16, I had bought a H-17 within an hour.
Lot more complicated not that the boats are much more expensive, but I still try not to have a gap between. I now have filler boats for funsailing stuff and the kids.
It's OK sailing my other boats, but not OK because you HAVE to. I still get nuts.
I can't wait 6 months, Finally had to make a choice. HAd a decent offer for my I-20 to trade for a Tiger today, so I finally gave in and went with it. Will be trading them out in March. Maybe by the time Matt builds enough boats to have some local fleet action going, I'll be a couple years on the F-18 circuit and two years older, so that will probably be my time for a Blade. By that time the classes will be going and the boats will be in their third generation or so, and all the major refinements all since made.
Wish I could have been an owner there from the beginning, but it's a lot of fun waching it from the sidelines too.
The class and this particular boat can be a huge opportunity for the future of catsailing. Bringing one-design racing and a performance 1or2 up spinnaker boat together is quite an accomplishment. Can't wait to see it keep growing.
