Guys, I'm really puzzled.... is this F16/F18/A N Other boat bickering purely a US thing? (and only made international via this forum)

In the UK we just don't get any of this "my boat's faster/better/lighter/cheaper/more expensive than yours" stuff. I've also not experienced it in Europe.


As you no doubt know, the number of catamaran racers in the US has been in decline for quite some time. Many folks have the feeling that there's not room for more than a couple of healthy classes. At best it seems to be a zero-sum game, where the success of one class can only come at the expense of another. And that's where the bickering starts, IMHO.
