Two fleets and an aside corrected overall trophy.All boats start at the same time on the same line.Unless you could calculate an average difference between the 18s and 20s over the forecasted weather patterns, a time difference is BS.
You folks who haven't done this seem to think that this is marketed like an Americas cup. I truly don't think how you score it is going to make much of a difference at all on spectator numbers or sponsor support.People check it out for the adventure and the visual competetion, not the calculated competition.(With the exception of some of the folks on here who THINK too much)The same sponsors usually go to the same teams rather they win or lose, it's about adventure.
It is impossible to score a 1 direction distance race fairly with portsmouth.
I also think alot of you are selling the F-18s way short. It's going to boil down solely to conditions. That was for you DING.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
