Any news is good news in catamaran sailing.In open events such as ours we had a great showing by John McKnight on a Hobie 20 against a lot of good competition.Sailors on the fence about dusting off there garaged cats might get the itch to come out again and participate.Hobie Cat's decision is one of self preservation of one design fleet racing. We all have a choice as to what we want to do,where we want to sail and what we want to sail in, so long as the enjoyment of sailing continues..........In a year or two we could see the demise again of exclusive one-design events..
