It's still about who is driving, as it should be, not about what boat they happen to be on today.
You could put the top 3 at the GC today on any of the F16's and they would still be the top 3 to finish.
People get way too hung up on the weight and think they can buy speed. You still have to sail it well if you want to win and a couple kilos is not going to have any effect on that.
Tim,
You might like to ask the top 3 if they think the extra 20kg on the Vipers makes the boat any less exciting...
You should also ask those top 3 if they think the racing would be any better if the boats were all 107kg?
