Hi all,

this thread was doing OK with reasonable arguments, don't let it degenerate.

On the matter of Mosquito's racing F16 as the accuser was not identified, we will assume that he lives outside of OZ and South Africa so has never seen a Mossie, never mind have any knowledge of how they fit in to cat racing fleets. But I have sailed them and can state categoricaly that they are a competitive boat with a spinnaker in almost any cat fleet. Just ask the A cat, F18 and even Tornado sailors that I have shown my transoms too, never mind the Taipans.

In fact here is a challenge for Mr. Anonymous I will be happy to race you on any 16' cat any time against a Mosquito.

Of course then we would find out if you are in a position to comment on any class other than your own if you have one.

How about we just stick to commenting abot what we know, I for one often avoid commenting on things I see written on this Forum, as I don't know all the classes in other countries. Or how they sail at Regattas.

Regards Gary.
