mate, I dont know how viable the PT is in other areas. However here where once it had a fleet of 30+ boats it now as dead as a a dodo..
As is the kitty cat... 3 clubs each had 20 or so boats..
Why? The kitty didnt update and when they had the time it was decided to keep everything the same.. When the east coast realised the west coast fleet was sick it was too late.. The gun sailors and class admins had moved on..
A case of not evolving....
Saying this.. both classes could have remained viable.. cheap to home build. fast, light, affordable.. Without the guns and the admin.. its all moot...
