A-Cat 2025 Review of the year.

Yet another epic A-Cat year, one filled with individual victories and disappointments.  Some moved away from the class, a few sadly left us all forever.  But some new recruits discovered the delights of their new class, while other old hands swapped their boats for different ones.  And a year when both the teacher and pupil became champions.

Final day at the PredictWind A-Cat Worlds 2025

The final day of any boat class Worlds can often an odd one. Sailors battle each other all week. Throughout that time, as in real battles, small skirmishes, pockets of unseen individual personal heroism and little victories happen all over the field, aside from the main strategic objective.  Nearly everyone is involved in some way or other.  And the final victory could range from an overwhelming and inexorable force, that was usually apparent from early on, to a touch and go, narrow-margin, last ditch effort to secure the strategic objective.  

A day to remember indeed.

In every Worlds, there is usually one day that can stand head and shoulders above the rest for one reason or other.  That opening Monday at PuntAla with those mountainous waves, the final day at Toulon where Scotty and Kuba clinched their second titles in the rough stuff.  Well, Friday was probably that day for these Championships. Although, we have 2 more days left, and the weather does rather like to get involved in these parts.
