Match Racing - Monohulls or Multihulls – Have your say! 15 hours to go

by The Sail-World Team on 7 Nov 2010
Musto Match Racing Survey 660 3 Matchracing Monohull or Cat Have your Say Here!!
Controversy has always surrounded the America's Cup, and the 34th edition is no different.

Before entries have even opened, the sailing world was divided as to whether the introduction of a 72ft long catamaran is the right option to revive the event.

Or, should this match racing event continue in monohulls, - the match racing boat type that most teams and fans know best?

Since BMW Oracle Racing won the 33rd America’s Cup in February of this year, the foundations and structure of the event and its match racing origins have been examined as never before.

The potential teams have been told they would be consulted, some say they were not. The multihull choice came as a big shock to some who had been expecting the monohull option.

Now Sail-World gives everyone in the sailing community, both match racers and other sailors, the chance to have your say (or, rather, vote) as we conduct a survey to find out the 'People’s Choice'

Complete the quick survey Here and go into the draw to win one of six Musto fleeces. This closes in just 15 hours and entrants will be able to look at the survey response summaries and full comments. Some great reading!!

Consider a path up to a picnic spot with a grand view – think gentle slope. One that makes you crane your neck back as your eyes go skyward – think goat track.
