Tim,

Well done. Your 2 recent responses hit the nail on the head.

The popularity of the Mozzie comes down to the cost of purchase and the one design philosophy given that there are a set of tolerance bands that are used. The class rules also allow some freedom for playing with rudder and centreboard designs and boom size. Even old Mozzies can still be competitive with a few minor modifications to deck layout, a new sail and some tuning of foils!

The number of rig options also has provided the class with considerable growth and has made other cat owners look at the Mozzie with some envy; having a Mozzie with spinnaker keeping pace with a F18 must turn heads. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
