While I did enjoy the mixed fleet racing, there is no doubt it cost me a place or two when we got stuck at A mark, coming in on port with a wall of F18's coming in on starboard. We had to tack low of the layline, wait for them to go by, then tack twice more to get around A, while M+G went by on starboard. Still, it is much more of a challenge and teaches you how to deal with that situation better next time.

I can see Ding's point too, I hope I didn't cause any F18's to lose some placings while trying to avoid me. Personally, I would prefer if we each had 15-20 boats (or more) of each class on it's -own- start.

Ding, did you hear any complaints about us being there? I don't need names, etc, just a general feeling. I don't want to piss anybody off either.
