ScottiE 174 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I thought he had a good point. In his view, the AC was traditionally the pinnacle of the sport - him being able to compete is not conducive to that. That's his view - our sport is so wide and varied that there will be a dozen counter views - all with some degree of validity. Me - I say bring back the foiling cats - they were f**ken awesome!

Clipper 371 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 There were so many many problems with Coutts cup vision. The boats weren't really one of them. Or variants on those anyway. Pretty stupid headline from Gladwell - he usually does better than that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
