However, I am afraid you are right: It is probably way too cheap for the AC.Noodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829600344187451258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-724749504995792010.post-64820059456706156052013-09-19T12:06:32.593+02:002013-09-19T12:06:32.593+02:00Tom 28!
Oh sorry, that boat is just super cool .....Tom 28!<br /><br />Oh sorry, that boat is just super cool ... but not expensive :(<br /> It's lke everybody could afford to attend the AC. And such socialist actions would piss off our millionaires.

Question is then, what boat is expensive, difficult to sail, maneuvrable and fast enough to be interesting as an AC boat...

While the development of new hitec boats - as it happens in AC - helps the development of race sailing overall, I guess it doesn't help the art of match racing. Match racing is most interesting in prestart, where it is like chess on the water, contestants outfoxing each other with many ultra quick maneuvres.<br /><br />And for that game those überbig cats are the worst choice. Let the 2 skippers sit down in optis and see who's the more clever.<br /><br />I'd watch that.Orcahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09419827755412713043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-724749504995792010.post-82605400876167767662013-09-17T14:34:02.589+02:002013-09-17T14:34:02.589+02:00Perhaps you're right, but those interested sai...Perhaps you're right, but those interested sailors-in-spe would be junkies looking for a kick, no.
