Hi marcreiter,
On your previous post, you mentionned a time diff of 7 minutes for one hour of sailing. Just imagine for every 10 feet you move forward, your opponent is 1 more foot ahead of you.
Sounds like a big diff in speed to me. Id' hate to think that many feel that this is fair and "fun" racing. Whenever a class is created, rules are designed to elliminate much of the whining that always seems to happen. Myself, I would hate to compete boat for boat against an M20 sailed by Daniels and me on a Hobie 20. Does the word horizon come to mind.
Pleasure sailing/racing is a different story ...
Love your attitude ... what do you sail ?
