Chet - is the weeknight racing PHRF or OD? Weeknight racing is a great thing - if you got to choose whether to do it on a 2-person 20' sportboat or a 2-person 20' cat, would there be a preference?

For me, 2 people on the cat would be infinitly superior. That being said, I cherish the time with my chums on the Melges Wednesday night. We are racing PHRF, don't rate out very well against the newer designs, the courses are better for boats with genoas and symmetric spinnakers, but still have fun trying to beat whoever our arch rival du jour is.

I see you've tricked me into writing "on topic".

Regards
Chet
