dood Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Hi, Just wondering what will be the biggest class at the Nationals. The Maricat one up sloop riged. Or one up cat riged. Or Two up slooped rigged. Does the class allow Trap on there boats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pointed Reply Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Trapese are allowed on the Super Sloops (one up sloop) but not on single sail cat or two man sloops. My guess is that the cats will have the most boats, then Super Sloops. Not sure if there will be many Sloops. Is anyone thinking of sailing Sloop at the Nats ? I think the plan is for all boats to start together on one start line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dood Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 So if you dont have Trapese on your boat and sail it one up Sloop rigged. What class are you in. So from what I can gather Super sloops have Trap wires. Sloop Rigged have no trap and sail one up or Two up. And then you have Cat Rigged with no trap wires. Is this right.

The Bitch Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 You would be classed as 'Super Sloop'(trapeze is optional). 'Sloop' sail only 2 up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pointed Reply Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Sloops are two man two sails with no trapeze. Cats are one man one sail and no trapeze. Super Sloops are one man, two sails with OR without trapeze. You do not need a trapeze for Super Sloop, some of the best Super Sloop sailer do not have or use trapeze including the National and State Champion. In some conditions a trapeze will make you slower ! One more thing to think about, one more thing to get tangled. You need to think about your weight and experience. A little light guy on a Super Sloop in a big breeze is a real hand full. In my opinion a Sloop with a light weight crew is the best setup for a Maricat, but then I'm biased !!
