An adjunct to the transition to cruising thread. Racing is evolving to smaller boats. Typical new race boat now is 20-30 feet, fractional rig, non-overlapping headsail (frequently on a furler) and possibly a sprit.
Race boats are moving in the direction of high performance, planing hulls and less crew. Handwriting on the wall = if you have one of our older IOR design "classic" boats, move away from hardcore racing and more towards cruising or beercan racing. Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA
