Les,
Do you want a real 'point buster'.......put your smaller mast on the I-17 ( smaller by 1 foot 4 inches),....which means a little less sail at the top,...same size spinnaker,......and take the rating change ( Ports or Texel) and probaly take a 'R' in most conditions.......
Yo Harper,
tsk,...tsk,...tsk,....anytime,..any place,...any condition buddy........my I-17 against your FX-1..
..anytime..
