Seems to me that the Mozzie in 1-up mode is quite performant with respect to full spec F16's. The 2-up Mozzie noticeable less so. A 4 points rating difference is only some 108 seconds (1 min 48 sec) per 45 min race. The 3 points rating difference to the 2-up F16's is only 81 secs difference in the same race. Of course the standard Taipan with spinnaker is rated at 102 in 1-up mode and 103 in 2-up mode, so here the rating differences to the 1-up Mozzie are even smaller. A 2 point rating difference is only 54 sec difference on the finishline after 45 min of bouyracing. That is a time difference that can easily be found between good crews on identical boats anyway.
