By comparison,
The Lightspeed 32 is 18'wide and at least as badass, if not more. If cat racing is going to make inroads into the mono fleet, which I would like to see, we have to look like we can handle ourselves.
The occasional flip (I have seen an f31r flip at the finish line in newport) does not seem to hurt the general yachting communities opinion of multis and the people who sail them. But the reynolds situation clearly is detrimental to all of us, and ultimately those who haven't experienced the sheer joy of the wild thing.
