The real surprise is that the number of single handed racers who want to race with the spin in the world is surprisingly small. (NF17 and F16 unis probably don't add up to 25 at all Continentals 's over the last couple of years.)
What surprises me is the magnitude and emphasize sailors put on racing.
That's a great point Rolf, I only got into racing to "Learn to sail Faster" in the first place, but once in, I found it quite addicting.
I just can't get the same kind of adrenaline rush out of putzing around alone, even in big air, as I do when rounding marks in big air, with spin boats coming in from all directions! I don't really care about who wins, as long as I learn something.
And there is the social aspect at the keg afterwards, that's half the fun!
