Well Olie is a damn good sailor and his crew is very good also (very impressive considering how short a time she has been sailing).
Nigel did not end up on the F16. Not exactly sure why, maybe logistics of getting the boat to the regatta, but he was on the infusion. Was told by olie that they switched with nigel and tammy on a race for the f18. Olie said nigel liked the boat, notice some areas for us to work on as far as the mast setup (was bending more to the side then back, so we are gonna play with the spreader rake some).
Olie did mention that he noticed that in the 5 knot wind the blade was up there with the f18, around 7-8 knots the f18s started to move away, but then when it picked up more to 10 or so the blade was just as fast or more. maybe some changing of gears difference there or is can someone explain this by weight and power differences of the boat?
Well anyway now to sail on the f18 they need to gain some weight, so time to make em eat a lot of fried snickers.
