Lets forget about any dinghy wins also. I have yet to see a dinghy champion to make quick and succesful transition to a catamaran. The two designs are just extremely different in how they need to be handled. Rig tuning is completely different, can't tack on shifts easily enough and the speeds are so much higher that correct sail trim is much more critical.
ermmm....Paul Elvstrom?
What I mean here is that you can grasp the 49-er world champion and put him on a tornado and they will come last in any international Tornado event.
Just because you state it Wouter doesn't make it true. I think you're waaaay off the point of discussion here and your argument is without substance. Sorry.
