Yeah, end it here. No more political BS.
Racing with the mono's is quite fun. I find it very interesting to see how the cat performs compared to other boats, especially ones that are exceptional pointers (thistle/etc). Not only does it give me the chance to a) see some other cool boats with skippers that are just as enthusiastic about their "yacht," but it b) allows them to see the way a cat behaves on the water. It is my chance to distinguish us from other boats, and to disspell any myths that cats may still retain. At any rate, sailing, be it on a mono, dinghy, or cat, is a plus. In these times when sailing seems to be declining, I'll take what I can! Arrrgghhh!
