Ken-
Wasn't trying to rub anything in! Just explaining the request by multiple people to find them a boat like mine! It's been pointed out multiple times by various others that utilizing PN's for distance races is merely a very gross approximation as these "performance derived" real numbers are largely derived from windward/leeward bouy races with roughly equal windward leeward legs and, increasingly, little to no reaching. In a distance race from point-to-point the boats are sailing on whatever point of sail is required at the time, which is not necessarily any direct windward or leeward courses (as was obvious from last weekend!). Best example of this is scoring spinnaker boats against non-spinnaker in a purely upwind race, and at least you all broke the spin boats into their own class to prevent this.
Please let me know as soon as you know when the dates for the Shearwater are- It is a long drive but you guys are great hosts and I always have a good time there!
