-Interesting posts this week on the old and open forums ,

NAMSA as proposed by Rick is what U S catsailing needs.Please check in there if you hav'nt already .



The Formula concepts of allowing numerous cat builders and different manufacturers to be involved ,is also in line with current thinking .



I,ve observed with great interest the U K cat co ,-which in the last year has helped unify and cordinate catsailing there ,

the benifits will be tremendous for all catsailors over the long term .



-With the goal of providing Formula racing ,-given existing conditions of boat weights and variations of design in the U S ,-BELIEVE the weight to sail area catagory solution in structuring rules is the only viable course .



The intent is to allow all cats listed on the forum previously to be able to partisipate in Formula 20 racing and allow new cat designs to develope within .



Again , if any have a viable rules proposal that can accomodate the variety of 20 ft cats in the U S ,please post ,

If you have suggestions for the weight catagories or other aspects of constructive rules structure , and intend to race Formula 20s please post
