Nacra 269 (boy, you started early! ;-),



no - probably not. The Javelin F18HT is not likely to be faster than the Inter 20. I don't think many people would consider it "more of a boat" either. However, technology triumphs - technology fails - and if nobody tests it we'll never move forward. Obviously, the lighter boats are the wave of the future (E=MC^2) and what better proving grounds to determine the strength of our technology than to build a light boat and test it in the Worrell? If nothing else, this race will give us something to talk about.



Personally, I am excited about the 2003 Worrell1000 boat selection. It's a continuation of "new twists" to a race that has gone from nothing to Sports Illustrated at Mike Worrell's direction. Publicity, publicity, publicity...let's keep catsailing interesting, exciting, and affordable - this is the birth and the future of catsailing!
