Hi Bob,
I am afraid I have sailed against your mythical sailor he has spent twice as much money as anybody else in the class, and has a full carbon boat with more lead on it than any one else in the class and has the only boat on the water out of what he descibes as the fastest mould yet made. Of course this is not the only reason he has won aprox. eight nat. titles in a row, but it certainly does make him hard to beat. I was talking more of perceptions than actualities.

Gary.
