I just was getting ready for our regatta and went to pull the most recent PN numbers. Is it true they haven't been changed since March 2008? That's been a year and a half now? Just making sure I'm not missing something?

Thats why the f18 is still kicking *** on the 20

Yeah? Ya wanna switch for a regatta?

Ugh... No. the N20's have a gift rating in the US versus the rest of the world!

under SCHRS... you would owe the F18 4 minutes an hour... not the 3 minutes under DPN...

B2-3... the difference is negligible...

B 4... eg 13 to 18... the gift is about a minute 12 in an hour.

I wouldn't say that the I20 / F18 rating is all that bad. When you get on odd angles of sail the ratings aren't very even...but that's not what the rating is designed to accomplish.
