For the buoy racing line honours are more difficult to tell. For some races it didn't matter, but for our 333 youth team, on one race they lost 5 places because of the rating.
For the raid it is a different story.
First Falcon finished just below 2 hours (less than a minute behind Bundy) and clearly 3rd F16, beating the Nacra's and most of the Vipers were some very talented sailors where placed on. Our Swiss team finished in front of Chris&Georgina and the Cirrus Q but ended up 19th, the Cirrus 10th... So here the rating has a bigger effect.
Overall very good performance of all the Falcons there, showing weekend racers can mix it up with the pro's.
