Old vs. New Boat Classes

Sailing Scuttlebutt had an interesting juxtiposition in its November 20 posting: a brand new keelboat class just introduced at American YC (RS K6) and an old centerboard class being reinvigorated at Lauderdale YC (Cape Cod Mercury).

Comparing the articles shows that hot new technology can co-exist with the tried and true, though perhaps at different clubs!

So read them yourself and decide where you'd prefer to be:
- KG article
- Mercury article
