Ok, some of you don't like the Title.

Some individual cat classes are doing really well, they
must be promoting themselves to do that.

I am aiming my criticism at cat sailing as a whole. after
the furore over the Olympic decision, all cat sailors
pulled together under the banner of UKCRA to speak with a
common voice. we started to get F18 and dart youngsters
joining the Dragoon charter program and classes started
to combine at events again and If we ever got olympic
selection back, we could be sure that the best sailors
from all any of our classes would be in a position to
take up the challenge.

So, I guess i am having bit of a dig at UKCRA for not
keeping the pace up and involving the cat classes in an
overall system.

Or maybe it is the cat classes that can't be bothered to
support UKCRA?

Either way, at a time when women's match racing seem to
be needing to press-gang sailors into boats, it would be
a good time to shout about how cool cats are!

Hello all,

I take care of the internet portal of UKCRA (catamaran.co.uk) and would
welcome any submissions of news, race reports, photographs, links, gossip
etc...
