I ran my N20 last year in the Santabarbara to King Harbor race and had to reach pretty high with the chute in light air. I thought we were doing well until I looked back and saw an 80 foot keel boat riding my butt with his chute up as well. First I was amazed at the angle he was running the chute not to mention the speed. As soon as the wind picked up, it was "game on" and we walked away from them.
