Wouter, did you have too much coffee before you wrote this? Or was your blood sugar low?

Alter Cup is a two person race. A cat is a single hander.

Also, you may be surprised with the feedback from the Alter Cup. You cant and shouldnt expect everyone to love the F16 after the Alter Cup. Remember that many of the Alter Cup sailors prefer i20's and F18's. So dont be shocked if you dont get the kind of reaction you are predicting.

I'm speaking from experience here with the HT's at the Alter Cup, I asked one very welll known, i20 and F18 sailor how he liked the HT and he referred to it as a "good little go cart." I thought that was an odd response at the time and didnt understand why he didnt love the HT. But later, it seems perfectly normal for a guy who has tons of hours on a i20. Just some friendly advise here, understand not everyone is going to love it and I actually think an Alter Cup can do more harm than good for a new growing class, because the sailors have not formed a committment to the boat that buying one requires, so they are very free to comment without committment to the boat. That can be unpredictable.
