Back to F16 subjects, does anyone know the weights of the boats that competed at Texel? Maybe if they were heavier than the F16 rating they could have got an advantage from re rating under the texel rating?
Who is looking at handicapped results ? These boats should be compared on elapsed time as the differences between them are too small to really matter. The only exception is the old Nacra Inter 17 design, which is a bloody slow singlehander compared to its modern competitors.
But Wouter will for sure supply us with irrefutable proof that the F17 has somehow lost 25kgs
With respect of boat weights. The numbers I quoted are well founded and I have measurement numbers on several nacra 17's. However I would love to quote you (as an nacra Europe employee) that no Nacra 17 has ever been build under 150 kg's. Makes promo-ing the F16's alot easier. So I'm not sure what you are campaigning here for; if it is the latter then I'm more then willing to comply ! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
