You are trying to justify poor sportsmanship by some F18 racers just because Mike was not on a F18 but was officially in their class.

I am??? I assure you I am not.
However, to explain the situation more clearly: Mike was NOT racing in the F-18 class. Mike was NOT scored with the F-18s. Mike was scored individually, and because he asked to start with the F-18s instead of with the (2 boat) Portsmouth fleet he was scored against no one.
From my own perspective, it is possible that I might have been one of the individuals overheard by Mike to have said "Get the [censored] out of the way..." in a given P/S crossing. I hope not, but if so, I sincerely apologize, because I certainly didn't intend to have spoken loud enough to be overheard.
The point of my last post was only to highlight that it is desirable to arrange ways minimize overlap with disparate fleets with the RC ahead of time. Among the practical suggestions and examples of my post, this point may have been muddied.
