I've still never gotten a ride on a 20 footer, but I did have a chance to watch Team Loewen this weekend. They seem to have their ground school down pat and weren't struggling at all.

We had one short encounter with them under spinnaker, and they were able to pull away without any effort. So, the strength of the bigger more powerful boat is beginning to sink in for me. Still, I wouldn't want to try to single hand one.
