Thank you Mark. I think Matt and Gina can sail with the best. Unfortunately, Team McDonald won't be there next weekend (Juana's) to exhibit their skill to Mr. Curry. Maybe Performance Race week (or whatever they call it now) in Oct.

This is my problem with the current rating system regarding F16:

The US Sailing Portsmouth Handicap rating system applies to boats that meet a SET list of CLASS RULES. If you race N20's, you'd better have all the supplied Performance Cat equipment or else you are "out of class" and take a "hit". The F16 CLASS RULES stipulate 1-up = 2-up. Why do we have two ratings when it is one set of class rules???

That being said, if the Portsmouth rating committee determines there should be two ratings, well great. Just let us know and we WILL support it, register as separate classes and swap trophies afterward. Whatever. I just wish they would tell us something... don't leave us hanging.

Kill the F16U or tell us that it will always be there. We can adjust and support whatever they decide, but we need to know their decision. Make sense?
