Ours is silly anyway, since the F17 has such a soft rating, it's almost impossible for another class to win. (F17 has won the Area E Alter Cup for as long as I can remember.) Even Matt Struble couldn't win it last year on an F18.
I should take my 14 to the next one. It's rating is even softer than the F17's. I'd finish 20 minutes behind and still beat them on corrected time. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
kinda the reason it doesnt make much sense to go to the area D qual too!
this year, at least
