Rated racing is based in averages , this inherant flaw makes it unsuitable for use in major championship events as a true test of sailing ,navigational ,boat prep ,tactical and seamanship skills.



Most all catsailors prefer O D and now Formula racing -



The N A Open Formula 20 Class proposed , again is not mine but based in the i FORMULA 20 with modifications for use with existing conditions here in North America.,The N A Formula Class not yet officially up will undoubtable have modest beginnings but believe it will become popular over time as it has in Europe.

Catsailors given the option and choise of racing Formula will race it in increasing numbers as we are beinging to see. It has great appeal though will not be for everyone obviously ,and different Formula Classes will have appeal to different catsailors but believe there is a Class to suit all needs along with several existing developemental established cat classes .



No one should presume to have all the answers , no one will ,-I,m very happy to provide my time and energies towards a F-20 Class for N A that will really help revive the sport in a very fair honest positive way .



Please e-mail mark if you have some personal problem ,-you seem to be repeatedly making derogatory comment using my name in your posts .
