Hey Eric way to go in MKL I was wondering about your dilema in widening your boat.For instance if it was 10-15 and the first boats in were all ARC's was this because of there mast hight not boat width.And with 10minutes between the Ticonderoga30 and the 22 over the 45m that was not alot of time.What are the general spec differences between your boat and the 22 , also pilot skills are enormous advantage here.
