Please nobody get their noses out of joint but as I look at it the only real cat catagory is Tornado. That is the World measure of off the beach cat sailing.
I understand that sailors of other cats can and must be truely excellent but what I said was that I simply would not expect any sailor, no matter how good to measure up in the top of the World basis without devoting every day to the winning of it.
The idea that that the Tiger has delivered an odd result in the hads of Ashby and his partner sounds like grabbing at straws. It seems that that style of boat is their bread and butter.
