Well, PN number's help but you would probably get some argument there. Me saying I beat an FX-1 doesn't mean much either though. I just wanted to let the guy know that I had been on the course with one. About the only way to get a close estimate between the FX-1(1 up with Spin), I17R, and Taipan (1 up with spin)would be to let those boats race together for a season or two with skippers having relatively the same skill. Then maybe we could see which boat would be more suited to which conditions.
