[PCW] Cumberland 46 and Highland 35 Pilot unveiled

[gramario]

Very interesting. I should like more info. on the new Highland 35. Perhaps 
I'll see if a visit to La Rochelle can be organised.

On another note, has the list archived any discussions re. the stability of 
power cats. We all now that sailing cats can nosedive if they take waves too 
fast. What about power cats?

Best,
Rup.
