Even though it is a 16 foot boat portsmouth or not we were mixing it up boat for boat with everyone, no numbers game here.

...

Most of the regatta even up, it was Tybee, Kelly and Olli and us with the M20 once and while and an occasional other boat thrown in F18, I20 or A-cat



I hadn't seen this when processing the results so I checked. (I'm always the numbers guy)


Especially because this picture exactly depicts such a situation :

You see a Blade F16, Marstrom M20, I-20 (orange) and the Capricorn F18 of the Jasons (in the back)



So I scored the whole fleet on elasped times, here are the results :

It is unbelievable but the VMI team would still have been 4th !!!!! if scored this way. I they hadn't hooked the bouy while finishing then they would still have been 3rd with 41 points. This is while counted their capsized result of race 1. With a strik-out they would still have been 4th. Behind the Nacra 20 of Kenny, F18 of Ollie and M20 of Carla exactly as Matt wrote in his report.


My God, they sailed that boat well in this event !
