Hi Wayne,

I have sailed against the Nacra's in Holland and it was pretty even. I think we can beat them upwind especially if we have our new mast and sail, though they are quicker downwind.
I like it that we are tought to be the benchmark for upwind speed.
We are starting to match the speeds of the F18's downwind especially if there arn''t too many windholes and the wind has some consistency.

We are open to such a drag race, let him contact me (or Peter Vink)

Well game on then, any body want to take a few wagers, as there are F20c and DNA's in Holland it should be pretty easy to set up.

To be honest my guess just through sheer horse power ( twice the upwind sail area and larger RM ) the F20 would have to be bets on, but if the DNA came anywhere close then it doesn't half show just how far the A's have been ahead of the rest of the fleet in design and development.
