I'd wish this was true, but it always seems there's one rules tote-in "guru" in the bunch. Case in point from last September. We took a newbie boat owner to race at a yacht club regatta with a multi-hull start (handicap scoring, predominately TheMightyHobie18's). This guru engaged the H16 sailor in conversation after the event and informed him if he's planning on more racing in the future he'll "Need to get a comp-tip on that thing!" This poor guy finished dead last, and up to that point had expressed having a good time nonetheless. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
