In the starting line photo above you may notice there were 4 F16's starting with the F18 class at Tradewinds. This was a change to the original start sequence that had the F16's starting 3 minutes behind the F18's. Matt pushed for this change and he went to every F18 skipper to ask permission first.

Thanks F18 Skippers for allowing us to start with you, I hope we didn't adversly affect your starts or finishes, it was great practice for us since we would have been very few starting alone.

Incidently, there were several F18 Skippers who said they wanted to start with the Inter 20's, so maybe next year we should push the RC to start all the spinnaker boats together?
