Pete,

look what you started! Lots of posting to catch up on!



I would suggest you ask the N20 sailors who just completed the Alter Cup on the Blades for their opinions of the difference. That way, you could extrapolate your Blade experience on a N20 from those that know. JW, Tina, JC, BK, and most of the others have owned or raced N20, F18, F16, and maybe F17. Also, most are T-500 experienced, so they have a lot of info on many different conditions to sail in.
