I guess Bill Lee has forgotten the International Catamaran Challenge Trophy was/is often referred to as " The Little America's Cup"? Originally deeded by my Dad's chums and sailing buds at Sea Cliff YC, it is schedualed to be contested in Newport off Fort Adams in upcoming weeks. The boats used today are state of the art MULTIHULLS! A long reach from those launched off the SCYC beach of my youth.
Let the IAC stay mono and developmental and the ICCT be the development class for multis!
Those original signers of that deed for the ICCT were those that instilled in me the love for the sport they taught me. Many of them are gone, joining my Dad in sailing the astral seas and hoisting some cold ones after their races to 'dis/cuss' who had hailed starboard first, even if one had been on port tack! Mr. Fast is Fun disrepects those men that had 'his' idea and set it down on paper over 40 years prior to Mr. Lee!
Not to dis the Sage of Santa Cruz, I would like him to put his efforts into designing a fun, fast and cheap one-design for future 'Big' America's Cup campaigns.
