Thank you for the compliment

I've raced RedCloud agains another English Ketch that looks very much
like RedCloud. It was built for the Whitbread. The owner sailed
redcloud and after I explained the original layout below he suspected
RedCloud was a Whitbred built boat as well.


Do you mean "built for the Whitbread Round-the-World race" or "built in
Whitbread" (which is a place)?

So...what makes you reply to my post in such a flaming manner? What
makes you think RedCloud could not contend?


Because hard chine pilothouse ketches with tabernacle masts are not
built for racing. And it's not big enough, a Whitbread race boat would
be 60'+.

What's your PHRF rating again?
