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...

Sorry about not worshiping your 'hero'.
Back to Playstation:
- She had well documented handling problems.
- She was launched first of all boats designed for The Race yet they didn't use that advantage to tune, practise, iron out bugs... Why?
- She was then rebuilt beyond recognition. The Fosset spin was that this was according to plan and the original hull shape was merely to trick the oposition. Who bought that one? Not me for one. The original hulls must have been a major failure and now they band-aided the design.
Oops, don't "send in the marines", please.
