<<<I'm sure you'll be able to do that, you'll just have to take a PN hit.
Trey sailed his N20 solo at a couple races last year.>>>
Right on the "hit". I'll watch the weather report and might just bring the 20 if it looks light. It is actually easier to sail solo. Tacks better.
On the otherhand, if there were going to be a lot of 16's, I would rather sail with them and possibly find a crew.
Thanks.
