I cann't wait to see you prove this theory on an f16 out of your pond. At present one up on the F16 is over 10% quicker than the 17, add that to waves and a force 4!! Insure your boat well and keep well out of my way. However, given lighter winds wouldn't you find you would have to climb to high to get good speed, if you weren't on the trap you can obviously go lower.
