Does anyone know what happened to the RMW 40 foot cat idea, or are we seeing some sort of relationship here???? ------------- Dennis Watson 49er GBR735 http://www.helensburghsailingclub.co.uk/ - Helensburgh S.C http://www.noblemarine.co.uk/home.php3?affid=560 - Boat Insurance from Noble Marine |

I think the RWO 40 died a death as a result of no sponsership, but It is only an "I think". Nice to see people thinking about 40 footers again after the death of the F40's ------------- Wanna learn to Ski - PM me.. |

| The moment of truth will be when they announce some teams who have put up the £££££ to play. There are none so far. I wish them luck, but launching on the back of the VO which is itself desperately short of entries, doesn't seem the best start in life for a class. |

why don't they use the 70' boat that £millions have just been spent on so that there is a chance of a decent fleet without all of them being unable to afford it ------------- |

| Because a team of boat-designers and -builders is behind the class. There is nothing in it for them using existing boats. |
