My own class doesn't regulate the number of races per day either and I think that to be a good decision, especially for far off and costly events like nationals and worlds where bad weather can deprive you of several days sailing.

However, I'm not signing up for 5 or more races a day during a whole week when singlehanding a spinnaker boat like the F16. I may well do on single string boats like the H14/H16 but not on an all out sport boat like the one mentioned above.

The biggest thrills we get overhere is taking H14 and H16 sailors along on F20's, F18's and F16's; especially when they BS that once you master a H14/H16 you can sail any catamaran. We have them begging for mercy before starting on the second lap of the first race.

Sort of illustrates the difference in racing a H16 and a modern spinnaker boat. And by God, THERE IS A DIFFERENCE !
