WOW totaly disagree. The two ups you sail against must have crap crew work. The best time I have found the one up competitive against two up is when the legs of the course are longer. The more tacks and gybes, sets and drops, the further I get behind two ups both F16 and F18. just not enough hands and takes to long gybing of the wire with spinnaker. tired
