Not likely, not the top guys mate, they like myself could not give a rats. More concerned with racing class races.

The poeple you will here the noise from would be the ones that race mostly yardstick events and consider themself simular skill level to the guys in other classes which are a little more favoured with the handcap. And I do have to say, I can see there point.

I use to race my old plywood Dolphin cat and Maricat in mix fleet regattas years ago carring a favourable handicap due to the same reasons stated above...... Though I'd hardly call the boats "Giant Killers"

For me I can not see the enjoyment in performing in mix fleet racing. I would rather compete in a first across the line wins competition with simular classes.
