Here are the elapsed times for the first F16 versus the F17. The F17 is a well maintained 2007 or 2008 boat with the carbon mast (not the wing mast).

NF17 0:47:51 0:31:52 0:46:11 0:19:26 0:21:10 0:17:55
F16 0:45:57 0:36:39 0:55:32 0:18:41 0:19:50 0:16:34

There was not a lot of wind and they had to keep the races short due to the way the wind was blowing on the lake and other race courses. Also, the threat of severe storms during race 3, 4 and 5 made the race committee try to get in as many races aas possible.

Overall the boats seem fairly equal in these conditions. 3 F16 skippers took line honors, versus the sole F17 skipper. The F17 corrected out first in the first 3 races and second in the last two races. The F17 skipper was fresh off winning one race at the A Class NAs, he finished 21st overall.
