Thanks Jake...that's the kind of insight I was looking for. Very helpful...
I'm trying to sort out justification for getting an F-18 (without getting rid of the 20). My primary purpose would be to compete in 2-4 F18 events per year...but then I could also single hand it in local club racing (Lake Carlyle) when I have no crew for the 20, and I could also allow our local Juniors (15-18 yo) sail it (doublehanded of course) in our club races occasionally in an effort to turn them to the dark side (from lasers and lightnings)....
It's a lot of money to justify if I still have the 20. The more reasons I can list, the better...
