Yeah Mike,

Just like when we go hunting Tornadoes...... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Every dog has it's day

If "big brother" can be beaten maybe he is not so big.
I'd rather beat an 18 on a 16 that the other way round.

And I love beating the 20s on my 18

Every dog has its day

Woof, Woof

I like hunting Tornado's too...

So we all agree on one thing anyway, winning feels good.
And what we are really doing is hunting.
I love chasing down boats and the best feeling I have is as I catch up and can see the other skip is looking too often at me and must be worried and I KNOW I am going to make the kill.

Tornados in sub-trapeze conditions are out of their habitat and not too difficult prey (unless the crew are olympic class)

Don't worry Rolf, what I am trying to say is as with the f16 guys, we love lining up against faster boats and knocking them off. If we do it, it is because we sailed a better race than them. Not that the F18 is quicker than a T.
