I notice that the quotes from the F18 crews include the comment by the #2 boat includes the fact that they are quicker than The B&D show in heavier air because they have more weight and can drive through the heavy seas.
Maybe the weight for the F18 is set wrong. B&D could be cut out of the comp with some more sensible weight ideas.
B y the way, nobody answered e on the weights for lgith crew idea. IF heavier crews have an advantage in heavy air would it not be fair to have a top weight rule in heavy air comps?
By the way.. what is the perfect "acceptable" weight?
