Scoring Corrrection:

In the 5th Race (2nd Race on Sunday) I was scored a "2" ...

... I was actually last. After a capsize late in the 1st race on Sunday, I had to go to shore to lower and raise my main (main sail came out of the lower luff track). I was late to the start and after doing one AC(g) I sailed thru the S-F to inform the RC to score me a last and I'll wait for the next race to start.

This didn't get properly recorded.

In the two races that Tom and I actually started -- ON TIME <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> it was pretty close racing between us and the two F17's (Chad and Mike ... clearly Bob remains atop the field).

The F17's do seem to point better to wind, but as Tom stated, we do seem to converge on the windward mark. Downwind we're about the same ... although an F17 skipper mentioned that we (F16's) looked skittish under spi'. I agreed and suggested that the helm was so neutral that the slightest movement of the tiller caused the boat to react instantly ... and it's more a need for the F16 skipper to have more confidence and not "over react" to the gust and feather the helm .... MUCH EASIER STATED THAN DONE.
