http://www.catsailor.com/forums/sho...792&page=0&vc=#Post76792There was a 30+ mile off shore race in So. California for beachcats. It was an abbreviated course of "The Hardway." You can see details about it as told by Mike Dobbs on thebeachcats.com . Mike thoroughly trounced on the pack of mostly Inter 20's in a calm, light air day in this downwind spinnaker run. Say, aren't the I20's supposed to rule in light air??
The fleet consisted of 4 Inter 20.s (Nacra 20.s), a Hobie Fox, a Prindle 19, and a lone Tornado. You can see an animation of the first few boats to finish on a nice new animation program that Glenn Brown has provided at
