And when was the last time their P number was changed to reflect that, or the A cat P number for that matter?

Jack, I agree with the loop-hole thought. I hope some of the European sailor will give us their take on it. And I agree on the rum. grin


It's been a while since I sailed an F18 or N20 against each other directly (since they both seem to have strong classes that show up in enough force to be scored separately)...however, I do firmly believe that the F18 has been getting faster in relation to the N20 based on the on-course interactions having actively campaigned both platforms. Hard to say though, since I haven't seen much direct data...that's mostly gut feel.
