sailing seasons over here ,too soon to flood the outdoor rink,so I guess I just have too much time on my hand.While i have your attention what is your take on what N.A. sailors have to work on to get us up to pace with the Europeans and Austrailians.Do you think they have a boat speed advantage on us.Do you see many N.A sailors sailing with one rudder up upwind,seems all the top international sailors do.I race out of division 7 some real good 16 sailors but none of them use this technique.Having just competing at the contentials,what were some of the observations of the top guys including yourself.appreciate any input
thanks
Mike
