I can assure you that Murray on 964 was on a Nacra F18. I'm not sure about Palmer on 939 but I thought he was on a Nacra but I could be wrong.

I think it's great that both groups supported the event fully and that we got to really measure the boats against eachother. I sailed right next to Nacra's all week and I couldn't tell any advantage or disadvantage between the two boats. They seem to be very equal on all points of sail. It's an impressive formula. I did notice that the teams with the small sails tended to do better in the light air races. I have no idea if that was related to skipper ability or weight. My guess would be skipper ability.
