The last Cat I raced was a Dart 18 in Falmouth in about 1991, and that was fast enough to be able to criuse down the reach in 20 knots of wind infront of a 14 going full pelt. The new generation must be something else again - support each other!

Well said Rupert!

The point I was simply trying to make is that the Shadow was an excellent choice for Mike to have made. I hope that he has a fantastic time with the boat and gets in some really good racing.

Oh, BTW feva an FX1 should beat a Shadow, but that doesn't make it a better choice for Mike. He has chosen wisely in the lighter boat.
Far too old to still be doing this......
