Hey Mike,

The HT was pretty fast in most of the conditions. Jamie Livingston may have a different view because he seemed to keep his boat going all the time, but they did seem to struggle vissibly when the wave conditions got rough. Although the conditions were very mild there was still a few breakdowns. (1 broken transome and 1 folded dagger board from a ray) I do not think there was any structural failures on any of the other boats,and our boat should have had something go wrong as we hit solidly 1 ray, 1 turtle, and ran around 4 times on the last day following the dam sand bar infested coast to Tybee.

As far as the I20 and 6.0, I feel they are essentially even up in performance. The bigger jib off the wind, the huge butt spin in the light down wind, and a little less main when it did really pick up made the 6.0 very tough aound the course.

Many thanks to Chuck B and the race committee, as they put on an excellent event, that I look forward to doing again.

Matt
