Not going to nit-pick details but I would like to see it confirmed that the Moth is faster around the course than high-perf cats, when comparing apples to apples.
Wednesday club races tonight at
DWSC: 10 knots of wind or so. A varied set of boats around a triangle course. After an hour racing:
After 4 laps a Hurricane 5.9 finished first, I was further behind by 3/4 minutes, two other F16 and another hurricane finished in the next 4 minutes behind me, a well driven solo Dart 18 shortly behind them. The moth, a bladerunner, finished right behind me, before the other F16. But the bladerunner lapped *everyone* but the first two cats.
He was first to the windward mark by a mile, by the C mark when I rounded the B mark (I was second at that point) and then just gone.
So in one hour, the moth did 5 laps, we fast cats did 4, the asymetrics where somewhat behind us but on 4 laps as well and the slow boats (laser and all) did 3 laps.
Foiling: way faster.
We don't have the results yet, but they will be posted
there hopefully sometimes tomorrow.
