How about us US folks get together midway so everyone can be happy, on the water or very close and have some friendly "help eachother out seminars"

Who is in with me? I am game! I have well over 60 days accumulated at work (I get 30 a year, so its been two years and NO vacation!) so I need to take some days off.

How about we agree on a location with a water front hotel, that will let us set up boats and sail everyday for a few hours.

We can experiment:
Have control boats and have variable boats.
Swap crews around on different boats.
Share all the knowledge on how to go faster.
Discuss wing mast caracteristics.
Discuss UNI vs SLOOP setups
Mast rake.

Who is? I think this would be a awesome idea.
