I'm getting both.

Kidding - in truth, I'm waaaaaay down the list for an Infusion since they were not able to ship for Alter Cup. I've been looking to buy a boat since last July. With no hard date on Infusion production for non-Worlds teams and us mere mortals, it looks like I'll be able to actually lay hands on a Cap long before I could get an Infusion on the beautiful new trailer that's parked, empty in my driveway.

FWIW, the Infusion is making a very strong showing in Europe against all comers. Fact is, tho, neither of these boats is going to put me in the front of the fleet until I can learn some of that magic skipper stuff. In the end, it became an issue of when I could get started, not which one's sprinkled with fairy dust. And the deal that is being offered is very attractive, too. More $ than the Infusion, of course, but worth it if I can be sailing it in a month rather than three - building a boat a week or two before Nationals in Carlyle isn't worth the stress. Those were the things that tipped the scale ever so slightly in my mind.

After watching Lionel Messi play, I realize I need to sail harder.
