But everytime my race results are investigated on the forums the next stage is always a stab at my public comments in the engineering field. This time I thought it smart to pre-empt this.

I have always said that I'm not a top cat racer as I have never aspired to be such a person. My claim to fame is engineering. Having said that, I'm not a bad cat sailor either; I still seem to reach mid fleet status in a serious fleet without doing any amount of training or making nearly sufficient hours on the water (especially this year; less then 10 hours before the NAM-REM). More often then not I use old or homebuild equipment as well.

That will be it from me.
