no amount of boat design will ever make up for my multiple blown tacks/gybes, overstanding the mark, bad starts and poor seamanship skill.
Ha too funny but sadly enough true for many or by my XXL size. But you got to love it. All said and done the beauty and awesomeness of a F18, skippered by the best and touch of the luck, around the marks is spectacular. I remember thinking that about most new designs as they came out starting with the NACRA 5.2. I keep on saying they can’t push cat design much further and over the years I’m always surprised.
