This may be slightly off topic…

For a sailing community who is always complaining about the lack of interest in Catamaran sailing...it seems one would be a bit more thoughtful about what one said about a new boat design/boat builder (Vectorworks is not new to boat building by any stretch of the imagination but new to this market). Especially when facts are in short supply.

Do the writers of these jabs have any concept of the level of expertise that Vectorworks commands? Go to their main web site and take a look... http://www.vectorworks.com/

This is just my opinion... It seems to me that Vectorworks is benefiting the catamaran community by offering fresh products here in the US utilizing their state of the art engineering and manufacturing...their time/energy/resources could be more financially rewarded being utilized for manufacturing products other than small sailing catamarans...One look at the VW Blade and you can see it is a beautiful execution of a beautiful design. Over stating little glitches in hardware and such (that plagues every boat that has ever floated in water) gives a false sense of quality issues.

Before someone makes a federal case out of a “dimple”… Will… call Vectorworks and give the manufacture a chance to address the problem… otherwise it will get all blown out of proportion on the internet by people making everything from “educated” to “wild butt” guesses based on incomplete information.
