Wondered why Macca had a bad day coming only 27th but I guess the " Dutch black thick coffee " maybe an explanation.
Question slightly off thread but has a reasoning, how many professional sailing teams ( including out of work or in between contracts ) were there at Texel and how many of the top places were taken by the hired jockies. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
That would be 27th over the line.... a few M20's and Eagles even Tornado's were in front of the F18's.
As for Pro teams, who really knows, some have costs covered some just lake the stickers on their boats, some even get paid. But the fact is there are a lot of F18 teams that compete quite seriously.
