A massive grasp of the obvious!
Who said a Melges 17 was faster than an A-Cat? I can't find that post.
My post suggested Dave find one of the experienced 17 skippers to compare boatspeed. Comparing boatspeed doesn't equate to saying "an M17 can beat an A-Cat". It means, uh, comparing boatspeed.
Sorry, didn't realize this was such a sensitive subject.
