So, Timbo...

Having spent a lot of time on your Blade, do you feel that if you jumped on a 20 today you'd have to "start from scratch" handling the larger, heavier boat?

Ding's commented that the 18 allows for less "stupid factor" (ie, not releasing rotator downwind) than the 20. Does the same hold for the 16 vs. the 18?

Or, do you tend to overreact on the 20 because you're expecting it to act like the shorter 16?

Having the opportunity to race both platforms, I'm interested in your comments. I still long for another N20, but like you I suffer from lack of time, talent, treasure, crew, and parking space for a 20 footer...

Heck, I couldn't even find crew for the beach resort rental Getaway last week. It's sad, but that will have to be my "training platform" for a while...
