That is fine by me as long as I have the balls to sail with people on the front tramp of a G-Cat. -

I did consider it against hundreds of hours of actual experience of sailing with people on the front tramp safely, which flies in the face of your advice about it being inappropriate and unsafe to put people on the front tramp. Based on that experience, I quickly rejected your advice. I gained confidence in the wisdom of rejecting your advice when I later read some of your older posts.

hmmmm - seems kinda funny for you to stated that - but ok
Here are my FINAL comments to you and anyone else reading this sh!t show you have turned this into:
I (again) stand by my original thesis
put weight up on a front tramp and you are changing the handling and performance of a beach cat - get hit witha gust and that may become a cap-sizable or harmful issue - period - FACT
having sails, jib sheets and clew plates around the front of the boat, all switching sides at EVERY tack and gybe: is a hazard to eyes, faces and people - and that is just one of the good reasons to not have crew up on the front tramp - period - FACT
can it be done? of course it can
go forever sans problems- sure, possible
btw - i own 2 cats, both have some type of front tramp and wings .... i'm not throwing out guesses here
