Wouter is right in my opinion.

We are mostly sailing our Tornado in mixed fleets. When it is below 3 m/s we usually struggle to keep up while beating on a w/l course. With the kite up, we usually gain on them.

When the wind pick up, and we can begin to use the trapeezes.. Well, they see us at the start and at the prizegivings.

This is boat for boat. If you sail on handicap, they has to be limited by hull speed for you to come out on top.
But, if the wind drops while sailing and they begin to sail below hull speed, you loose time to them very fast!

Pick a windy day, and you can demoralize them boat for boat, while beating them on handicap as well.
