Ah, Thaddeus... this is where we part ways. The 20 fleet is a dick forest. Two big guys. I raced in the 20 class when it was new, but lost my ride as the realization that minimum weight wasn't enough disseminated through the ranks. All the power and none of the chicks is what sent me to the F18 - it certainly wasn't the numbers, because when I switched there weren't many around. The F18 class isn't to "blame" for the 20's decline.


JW,Your so Guido! And to think I used to think you were light in your loafers. laugh
Plenty of girls on the beach,If your looking for eye candy. If I could find my own Holly,Sue, or Sandra to race with then I'd love to,but if it takes 2 guys to make a N-20 go fast, then that's what runs the boat. I'm not going to be less competitive(weight) so I can sail with a lady, if she can't handle the strings on a 20( which is what you imply in your post).

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