Indeed, physics put you in the ball park the rest is left to fate. <br> <br>Well Mitch became a Dutchy just recently so I may get a change to ask him. I just wanted to know if you're a sailing God that can even win cat races sailing an optimist. Your experiences now show that beating 18teens is alos possible for us mortals. <br> <br>BTW, have they counted the (downward or backward) thrust from the exhaust pipes ? Those engines pump quite a volume of air while racing. Good point by the way. <br> <br>Do you have objections to me using your comments on the F16HP webpage ? <br> <br>Wouter<br><br>
