I understand completely.

However, it is interesting to see the comments on this and the Hobie forum about boat speed and pointing ability improvements posted by folks that never race, particularly against other well sailed Waves.

There is a hugh learning curve that even good sailors in other boats encounter (same is true of the H16, BTW) when actually making a Wave get around a race course quickly. It can be really humbling, but results come quickly.

Tricks and gadgets gain inches. We often see people one or two LEGS behind in a 30 minute race. There is that much difference between "well sailed" and not so well sailed.
