Rise of the Cat People

[Vasco]

Woke up today in one of my favourite anchorages in the Bahamas. and I was surrounded by cats! Five of them. The smallest was a 42.
This season it seems all the new boats are cats. Tons of Lagoons 42 45 and 50's with their hi-rise houses and Bimini's sticking out over the helm. St. Francis, Leopards and lots of other South African cats. Some other big jobs with wave piercing bows. Catanas.

Very few small cats. Geminis have disappeared. One or two old Endeavorcats but most of the cats are new and large. Now the majority of boats is still monohull's but the Bahamian cruising scene is certainly changing.

Just an observation so don't all jump on me. Not meant to start ( or continue) the cat/mono war. Just an observation. As far as new hulls are concerned its all cats.
