Furthermore, Yardsticks can also be inaccurate depending on conditions. A Mossie, particularly with kite can be brutal in the light stuff. When she is blowing 20 knots, not so. This is where the F18 and particularly the Tornado come alive.

Yardstick is only an average measure and there will always be discrepancies. Treat yardstick for what it is worth...... A bit of fun racing.

As for the beer, sounds good. Will have to come down and check out McCrae this season. Hoping to get a Taipan 4.9 or A Class soon, so would be keen to talk to the McCrae guys. Know of any well priced A's (preferably Flyer MkI or Boyer MkV) going for sale. I am keeping an eye out on the A Class and Taipan web site classifies.
