Has your generalization above not suggested every singlehanded sailor in this country is a cheater? I think you should clarify as personally, I'm insulted. Maybe that's the case in the Isotope class but very isolated in the A-class and I believe that is one the positive things drawing more sailors to the boat. A new sailor at the Midwinters last week told me it was as much the class as it was the boat that convinced him to purchase one. That made me feel real good about how others see us.
