Let's just let it rip a little bit.


The 30 is nothing like it began in existence, adding a carbon rig, square top main, an upwind A sail and a spin that is 24 square meters (258 sq feet) larger than original, totaling 78 sq meters (839 sq ft) . The F18 spin is only 21 sq meters. Of course, it's the only boat with an 'all sails' DPN rating, which was quickly expressed to me by a very kind (I'm serious) Roberts gent after said race. What is 'all sails' exactly? and how can any boat have that kind of rating? (Again, I'm serious) They did sail the 30 well. I know that. However, again that is a reason for the DPN to drop. Look at all the classes with top sailors on board and what happens to the DPN. Is the the boat? The sailors? The football field of sail? The only thing that matters is time on distance. Period. Oh, and they add racks to the boat sometimes too. I forgot about that.
