I've got a question. Ratings are basically the theoretical speed of your boat compared to other classes. The skipper is of course the most important factor, but generally speaking, where do you come in when racing against say standard 18's, F-18's, H20's (906 in the background) I20's, etc? Who gets to A mark first in what conditions? Who gets to the bottom first?

It'd be interesting to see if the calculated #'s make any sense compared to the ratings of other boats in the fleet.
