Bladerider marketing BS..... As the F16 class in OZ spewed in the class' youth in the Austrailian Sailing Magazine. Take it all with a grain of salt. When the class flag drops the bull $hit stops.

The Moths are not even beating the 18 skiffs in Oz yet, let alone the Tornadoes. Looks like the 18s are realising that the F18s have their number too.

From the Brass Monkey regatta last month. All times are in seconds.

Race 1 and 2 were in fresh conditions. 15 to 25 knots.
Race 3 and 4 in lighter. Race 3 in 5 to 8 knots, race 4 in 7 to 10 knots.
