until you swap drivers so you are on the h17 and he is on the TC, i don't think it is telling you much
there is generally fare more variance in helming abilities than there is boat limits
Fair comment. All I can say is the guy sailing against me has raced cats a lot more than me in competition and we sailed boat to boat for four hours. The H17 is an idiot proof boat to sail, very much set, point and shoot. He should have had more than one five minute sloppy beat in which he was quicker. But, fair comment.
