Sometimes, when I kept it upright and going in the right direction, but that was due more to getting a good (for me) shift than boat speed. The F18's were usually faster than me (being Uni) in a straight line drag race, such as coming off the starting line, especailly when it's 10 gusting to 20. In 10 I could hang with them, in the 20 gusts, not so much. They were not as fast as Matt and Gina however...but who is? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
