No disrespect intended toward you John, I fully understood what you meant and my post was not at all directed in a negative towards you.

But it'll be a while till the portsmouth numbers drop. We had a few of similar scorings happen in the past. One was when Jim Boyer was over here last year. Kirt Simmons actually won the Alter Cup Area D south qualifier 3 years ago singlehanding his Taipan. Diddly sh!t happened with those results then. So I'm not holding my breath now.

The remainder of my post was just to show everybody how much the McDonalds earned their place. I find it a significant achievement for a crew that got off the Hobie 16 last year to do this well in such a fleet now. With Matt being very busy it is not like these guys train alot. As far as I can gether their practise time were the Harken distance race events. Only a handful of those each year.

Best of luck to you all.
