Saying a boat/team was inferior because they never won a contest on the water against the other boats is a silly statement given the whole G-Cat scene.
Well, Mr Fosset played that game with Lakota too: never faced the French. He tried it once in Route de Ruhm and promptly brought Lakota to California... Why not race the French Open 60 tris? Plenty of racing every year! The boat was one of the best if not the best when he bought it.
Go figure...
