The point is skiffs are unstable.. Thus skiffies are more attuned (as are their rigs) to the weather.. Make a slip, miss a gust or lull and you swim.. As you seem to agree this isnt the case for cats.
As for skill levels.. Could a skiffie get on a tornado and win.. Hmmm... well F& B are flipping good.. It will take any crew some years to develop the skills to match them.. But before F&B reign on the Australian scene.. A couple of skiffies did get on a T and won for almost a decade.. Including Au T olympic selection and either a 3 or 4th at the Olympics.. Dont know what that means but...
Oppsss off point.. Skiffies enjoy the challenge of keeping their crafts upright and they have the best ride downhill.. Even if a cat may be faster than all but the 18teen..
