I am assuming you're not inferring that there aren't any good sailors sailing Mozzys.(not that I'd be one of them frown )

If you're not, I agree with you.... you could do this for any class with the same result.

If I raced my Mozzy around the bouys against Glenn on his A I would expect to be wiped.

If we swapped boats, I'd expect the same result.

I'd hardly call that reason to question the yardstick of either boat. Just a reflection that he's *hit hot with a tiller in his hand and I'm fairly crap at it. grin

I also agree that Yardsticks are not perfect, but there not a bad measure for mixed fleets.

As for "incorrect Yardsticks"...Which one is incorrect?..


Racing might be better managed if we all sailed the same boat, but of course we all wanna sail what we wanna sail
