blind spots
from the spinnakers of modern cats is a serious danger. It is only a matter of time until that is demonstrated.
I believe a pretty good demonstration of that was provided at Tradewinds last year. N20 vs. Wave. Proved just how tough the rotomolded boats are! Thankfully, no one was hurt.
We are pretty sure we will have two separate courses next January for the Tradewinds.., one for the non-spin and one for the spins.

Well, hey. Thanks for the response.
I am just politicking for somewhat regular low-key get-togethers. At least to begin with.
Good but casual communication about location and time of some very simple distance races at Vista Point, Kerr, or Gaston, or wherever without the stress of big parties, complex events, and complex rules fits me.
We have groups of cyclers that get together and ride the Raleigh greenways here. Eat lunch somewhere and then pedal home. No big deal for money, organization, or rules -- but fun.
I think that if you don't build the fleet first, the rest of these problems -- rules, regattas, and hospitality -- stay unsolved.

Here ya go.

I'd be up for some casual stuff. My TheMightyHobie18 is old and heavy, but would be fun to put it out there, sign me up.....
At 115 kg per Wave (a 13 foot long boat) the outcome could hardly have been different.
I'd be suprised if they don't pour concrete into those hulls.
