y and y are running a competion to select a photo for the front cover of the dinghy show magazine and have picked probably the dullest photo of cat sailing ever taken. Dose anyone agree or do i just have a chip on my shoulder about the anti cat view that currently exsists in this country. p.s. hope it wins anyway |

Merely demonstrating how poor the chosen photo is compared with how they can be. |

Given that there's a choice of one, why not get behind it? It might even appeal to the majority of monohull sailors by NOT being too intimidating, with close, one-design racing.
