Dave,
I have found their knowledge of catamarans to be almost nil - other than the stereotypical anti-cat dogma.
We deal with it at our lake too, it's as though cat sailors are deemed renegades in the sailing world. Just trying to bring some levity to the situation.
Was just guessing on your age and I flat missed it.
Shame on me to equate talented craftsmanship with "age". I assIuIme ed... Please accept my apology.
Until this year my last catamaran race (as a driver) was 20 years ago. We bought a h.p. dinghy this spring (now that move got me some "what are you thinking" looks from the family) Sold it because I was never that great of a skateboarder and not formally trained in ballet. Stabilty wise, catamarans are a
snooze, and much faster.
I draw an analogy to my "feelings" about the spi rigged cat (Inter17) at our lake. Jealousy, it's so damn fast down wind, and fear, of going for a ride and knowing that our old sloop rigs pale by comparison.
