Who said life was supposed to be fair. Again people arguing that a race should not happen because it will not be fair, their boat has too little sail or their gut keeps them from being compettive on a H16. If winning is so important then these people should only race in their class association races. I have said it before and I will say it again. I will race any 20ft boat and I do not care how you have modified it or how heavy you and your crew are. If you want to fly a 600 Sq foot spin, and can keep the boat on the water then you will win and I will still have a great time racing against you. And I will learn what it takes to fly a 600 SQFT spin. If someone feels a need to buy a new sail to win a $5 trophy so that they can tell their yacht club buddies that they won a race then so be it, I like to sit around a bon fire on the beach and tell lies about the time I flipped my boat in 3ft of water 100 yards from shore.

Sail hard, sheet in, go fast. not some fantasy about how I am the greatest sailor in the world this week because the right combination of mistakes, wind and luck provided by God caused someone to win a cat race. If your personality is offended by losing a race then dont race and seek proffessional help. OK Rant over please blast me now.
