The condition in the race not sailed well by Bob where diffferent from the races he did good but he had also some luck to make the right side of the course. When i did see Steven go around the first mark as 40 and see him finishing as 3th with a standard type boat then what was better the curved board or the straight boards. I think the skill of the sailor did the most and making the right choices on the difficult course with wind going around the place was more critical then the boat or boards used. The fact that Bob did good in a few races made everybody nervous and because he was using something else was firing up this. The other Nikita's did have also curved boards and did sail on the place the skipper should be in that type of conditions and when the trick should work then they should be further in front then the real did. So every body is seeing ghosts is my opinion.
