"Are you really saying that you would have prefered to sail in a small fleet of a few F16's plus the XL as a handicap fleet instead of against the top A class and shadow sailors in the UK ? "

Nope I would go with the flow and rather race where the stealths were , just thought I hasd heard some banter that some of the F16 sailors were to race two up and consequently would be in other class , thats all

On the day it didn't happen anyway.
