hurricane 59

   well there is still a 2 sail nationals, and to be fair fleet racing in 2 sail is great because you are sailing evenly matched boats, in mixed the 2 sail boat is dead in the water unless you use and sx rig.
oh and dont get me started on the py of a 5.9!!

	fair point i suppose but do you not think it will kill of the 2 sail mode therefore reducing the attendences at tt's, which would be ok if the sx is the best 3 sail cat on the market but with spitfires,tornados, and f18s around i doubt it is.

	Yes the move is a risk but i can see why it was done the problem for the class was they were still getting high numbers at events and at the nationals (50 boats) but new boat sales had dried up the sx has seen new boats ordered and I believe close to 50 boats have converted to the sx the hurricane is a great boat and i believe the sx makes it into something really special as there is the choice of two completely different rigs on a smashing boat!

	As a previous 5.9 owner, I think not. the 2 sail boat was a fantastic machine. The 3 sail boat looks even better. I think it will bring more people into the class as it's a cracking bit of kit. Shot them selves in the foot. No. A good decision IMO.

	has the hurricane 5.9 comitee shot itself in the foot by allowing hurricane sx's to join the classic hurricane tt circuit? will the two sail hurricane die out and is the sx version strong enough to carry on in its place
