These people didn't fall out of bed a couple of years ago and decide they would be great F-18 sailors.(I20 in this case)
It takes time and years of competive racing to get there.

Why do you think Rick and Mary are having success with the Wave? It's easy, One design racing and great teachers.
We all have differant sailing backgrounds.
I think that any new sailor could learn more about racing in one week of sailing Waves with Rick than years of open class.(IMHO)
