My bad, I guess I raced against you and didn't know it. That year I didn't race the HTs boat for boat either. To me racing another boat is changing your settings and tactics to get in front of or stay in front of a boat. We did not do that with the F18s or 18hts. Looking at one and saying " Damn they can reach high with that kite" is not racing them.
I think you should talk to Chuck and try to get the F-16s in. It would be especially nice to see some of the rarely sail smack talkers do it. The F-16s are plenty fast and you build the blades well enough, that I think they'd do fine.

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