Lets not get into the whole portsmouth thing again. The number will correct itself with time. We aren't like some who like to win based on a BS number but I think agressively pushing a lower number is probably not worth the effort. Let the system deal with itself and the number will go down. (besides, if F16s do end up in the top of some portmouth fleets because of this number isn't that good promo for the class for those who don't know any better? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> )
I do find it interesting some of the top sailors say the boat is rated too slow... but I think we all knew that. Pick your battles, and this isn't one I would aggressively go after. But then again, I don't actually race much in reality, so you guys do what you want <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
