With target speeds of 10 knots upwind, The F18 is roughly half again to twice as fast upwind as the J109. The number of circles possibly sailed around the J109 over a 10 mile course might be pretty close ...)


When sailing circles around the big boats such as the 109, generally, we have found that the scowling face on the big boat is the owner. The waving female with the big smile and binoculars/camera is the wife/girl friend. heheh...try it!
