AJ,

I am no expert, but it was my understanding that an Express is an Express -- flat top main, over sized jib (genoa) and spinnaker. I looked at the Portsmouth Rating from last September (under Express, not Nacra), and Express rated, DPN = 59.7. That is lower than it used to be. It used to be 60.2. I am not sure why it went down. I doubt if my racing contributed to doing that. I still have my Express, but this year we'll be sailing our new ARC22. Good luck with the Express, but you'll probably be taking a pretty good hit with the handicap in regattas. Basically, you are right there with the Inter 20.

See you on the water.
