One conclusion can be that it is pretty viable to race the F18's straight up against the N20's in a race like this. The spread of boats does not suggest that this is a serious factor in the overall result. Something that the handicapped results (See the official Tybee site or
click here ) do not support with respect to handicapping. There it seems the F18's have a significant advantage as they are all grouped at the top of the score board. In that listing there are 4 F18's in places 1st to 4th and all but 1 F18 are in the top 8 places with only place 5 and 6 going to N20 crews.
All very interesting.

Wouter, AGAIN you mis-use facts to support a case.
You might want to have said....
"if you get a race where the wind is light and the angles are such that the N20's cannot carry their (one design) kites and the F18's can, then it is viable to race the N20 and the F18's boat on boat".
If it had beena dead run all the way, the results mwould have been different I feel; however, without any FACTS I cannot "prove" this........
