Dave,

I don't disagree with you on much of your statements. In fact, I completely agree that either the F18 or the 20 might have an advantage on any given day due to the wind speed and direction. I don't want to "win" a race that way almost as much as I don't want to "lose" a race that way. It's for the same reason I don't expect to race 10 N20's against 10 F17s under handicap when we go to a Nacra North Americans - handicap racing just isn't a premier way to race because it is inherently inaccurate and worse-so when applied to a distance event.

You guys have to stop making me sound like Ding.
