Michael,

You are right, this forum (like many others) talk a lot about materials, companies etc.

In my point of view their are few reasons (and certainly many other) that could explain the reason why we are always looking for other experiences and tips.

- Price of the material is expensive and as such many people are looking for more interesting prices.
- As price are expensive people look closely at product quality...
- Having a good boat could help in going faster
- Many less sailing and even more Catsailor than Soccers, Baseball player... then less media talking about our sport (as less media talks about our sport, then we have to find other ways to communicate and exchange informations, tips and products...).

Well I'm convienced that we are not more interested than Baseball player in competition... we have more concerns in finding information on paper, magazine etc.

Open forum means open... in my point of view this is a great forum.

Regards,
Jr
