Hi Bruce,

One question:
What are your reasons for choosing Texel over the USPN system.

One comment:
The performance data has the P19MX rated slighly faster then a Hobie 20 and almost as fast an old Tornado (100). Since Texel rounds to whole numbers, my guess is the rating will be about 101 when all is said and done. (not much different then the 102 currently used)

One opinion:
As always, the relative performance (and rating) differs between the comparable boats as the wind picks up. (Taken into account by USPN) the current texel system strives for simplicity and uses a single rating number. Are most of your races 45 minute windward leeward or Olympic courses OR are they several hour distance races?
IMO, Boat handling issues dominate the differences in elapsed time on short courses and the rating system and its precision is not that important. However, distance races really depend on ratings with a bit higher precision as true boat speed starts to dominate the results.

Good luck
Mark
