Steve,
You stated-
"As for a 20ht beating a 22ht ---- each has its best format for racing. But day in day out a 22 would win just due to physics"
I was speaking of real life results between the I-20 and SC22. However, I would like to point out a factor to consider-Human Limitations. At some point the boats can get so big and powerful, that smaller boats can win out around a bouy course.
I see that you have now proposed a new class, in addition to the F-22, that is the 22HT class. This is a step in the right direction, however there are limits.
I enjoy our debate. Are you serious about this 22 ft thing or is this meant to stir up lively debate, for which it has succeeded!
