It's a Friday night and I've probably had a couple too many. I also promised not to post under the influence but what the hell.
The U.S handicap system does appear to be favourable towards the F16 compared only to F18's but we had to start somewhere!! When more sailors start to understand that the F16 is a serious bit of kit and is competitive in all conditions you'll be lucky to catch a glimpse of our transomes. As you might be aware as you follow our posts Graham Goodall has invested a lot of money in the development of a slightly smaller F18 Capricorn (F16 Viper) so the ROCK STARS do appear to be jumping on the band wagon.
Also, having raced against Matt M I have witnessed at first hand how fast an F16 can be sailed. Therefore, whilst I'm still awake, why don't you compare your ratings with the other scoring ratings the world.
From a personal point of view I believe the Australians have the most accurate PY rating system.
