That's because the Tornado ended up owning that class. While other B's such as the Dart have active classes around the world, the Tornado ended up killing development in the class. The A Class grew and the C Class became an ultra expensive class to compete in. When Ken King and I were looking...
The bigger question now is; What will Team NZL do with the AX now? I know much has been said and agreements made, but will they honor those or go in a different direction? While San Francisco was a surprisingly great event and venue, I haven't liked the Bermuda series that much except that...
Just glad to see Lars on the boat racing again. Great results for someone who has been absent from the national scene for a couple of years. Like to see what he does if he is sailing fully in the class again.

ChrisO, There are many used A-Cats out there and many at quite reasonable prices. I have a 2002 Boyer MKIV. Other than the fact that there is too much freeboard in the bows that make it difficult at times to tact, it is a great boat and a forgivable platform to enter the class with. At...
