Are we getting lazy? In the comfort zone as the coolest and fastest crafts on the water?
Or maybe these little bugs are going to take that spot from beachcats?
The Carbon F20 I think is a good bet from Nacra, it is a production cat, and we need the big guys doing this kind of movements.
No margin to rest easy, we need constant progression, and the latest AC was a huge leap for multihulls from “outsiders”.
Moths are incredible little machines, they share a lot of things with multis (speed, less drag, serious fun etc) let admire them and also try to emulate them, right now they are the most technological advanced racing dinghy class out there!
Foiling cats are the future? A-class top racers are going back to straight boards, so we need more development or we just don´t need them. Future will tell…
