Mark,

I used to think it was better than not sailing at all. Now I almost couldn't be bothered. If you are sailing a handicap race then yes technically you are racing, but as far as I'm concerned you are just on a fast day sail.

I'd rather sail a boat I don't really like and sail one design rather than sail a boat I love and sail open. Right now I have the best of both.
