Steve,

We have some quick Dart 18s in the UK! Double trapped I have to agree we do easily sail away from them, but in the medium to light stuff we are about the same speed.

I guess I was just trying to illustrate that carrying the pole and gear upwind is definitely worth it for the ride downhill! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Glad to hear that the Mozzie is such a litle demon! I'm looking forward to racing against a few? if some can make it over to Singapore next year from SA and Oz?
