Maybe, but also maybe not !

Afterall, the report said ".... including one race won over the water!"

I'm not convinced that Sproat and Burke had much need for the softer handicap.

Of course it does help but I personally feel that a 2nd place score in this fleet would be just as impressive as their overall win. Note that the 3rd place holder is another 7 points further behind (14 points in total). That constitudes some leeway in their advantage.

I think Chris and Georgina did very well in a tough fleet of state-of-the-art catamarans.
